Process:

This lot was processed using the traditional washed method, designed to highlight the vibrant acidity and complex fruit profile typical of Kenyan coffees.

1. Cherries are hand-picked and floated to remove defects.
2. After pulping, the coffee undergoes wet fermentation in tanks to break down mucilage naturally.
3. The beans are then washed in channels and soaked in clean water for final flavour refinement.
4. Finally, they are dried slowly on raised beds, with constant turning and cover during rain or midday sun.
5. The result is a crisp, transparent cup with layers of fruit and a refreshing finish.
