Shonora Coffee was established 30 years ago by Shonora Gata, with a wet coffee processing station in Sakicha and a farm near the town of Gerba. In the last three years, Gata’s sons have taken over the station, expanding it and upgrading the machines. They now process cherries from up to 150 local farmers. Coffee is grown on volcanic soil, without chemical fertilizers. Shonora Coffee has also committed to building a local school, as there are only two schools in the area, which are a significant distance from some of the farms.
