ABOUT THE FARM AND THE COFFEE PRODUCER

Kaguyu is the name of the mill to which 650 small producers associated with the Inoi cooperative deliver their coffee. It is located at the foothills of the famous Mount Kenya, in the western part of Kirinyaga, the most popular region in terms of quality. The soils here are volcanic and at the same time the most fertile in the entire country, which is why coffees from this area are so highly valued by roasters all over the world.

ABOUT THE COFFEE BEAN PROCESSING ON THE FARM

SL28, SL34, Ruiru, and Batian varieties, hand-picked by 650 small producers from the area. After being delivered to the station, they undergo an initial, manual selection, during which unripe and insect-damaged cherries are discarded. After the seed is separated from the fruit, the coffee ferments overnight in tanks, then it is washed and sorted into four quality categories. Drying takes from 10 to 20 days, depending on the weather.

ROASTER'S OPINION This is our last Kenya of the passing season! Every year, May and June are a time of waiting for the new harvest – in the meantime, here you have a cup that continuously presents excellent quality. Deep, juicy, and fruity, just as a top Kenya should be.

Store in a dry and cool place.
