250g
For filter coffee and espresso
VARIETAL: SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, Batian
REGION: Embu
ALTITUDE: 1,680 masl
HARVEST: November, 2024
PROCESSING: Harvested at peak ripeness. Hand-sorted and floated to further remove defects. Depulped on the day of harvest. Mixed to ensure uniform distribution. Dry fermented for 18-20 hours in darkness. Washed and turned repeatedly in fresh water until the post-washing water remains clean. Dry fermented for an additional 24 hours. Washed again, then floated through channels to sort by density and remove any remaining defects. Dried on raised beds under shade nets until moisture content reaches 16%, then moved to upper beds to finish drying to ~10.5%.
This single-estate selection comes from the Mbature family on the southeastern slopes of Mt. Kenya in Embu County. Working with their coffee is an honor—their dedication to quality is truly inspiring. In the cup we find dark fruits, pink grapefruit, and a rich, jam-like sweetness.
