The Gathiga washing station was founded in 1953 and it serves 1490 smallholders from the area surrounding the Aberdare forest. The farmers bring the coffee to the wet mill on the day it was picked on. The coffee is depulped and fermented underwater for 15-23 hours after which it is rinsed with clean water four times. The coffee is dried on raised beds for 8-15 days.
