Getting product details...
At the factory the coffee is again hand sorted, pulped to remove the outer layers and then fermented in water to break down the mucilage. After fermentation the coffee is washed and dried on raised beds. The beans are repeatedly moved to ensure even drying and again hand sorted to remove any damaged beans.
The co-operative has gained Fairtrade certification and regularly runs training courses on best practice for its members. The Society also offers credit services for education to its members as well as medical services.
These beans are graded AA which in Kenya are an indication of size and not cup quality.
I like this coffee best using immersion brewing but it is also suited to pour over and Aeropress.
