PROCESSING
A washed process in Kenya is like freezing cold vodka on the table during Polish feast. Typical and must be! Before being stripped of their dign..., sorry, of the cherries, the beans are first sorted. Then they spend the night doing crazy things, that is fermenting. The next morning - a splash of water to tidy up! Then recuperating in the sun from 8 to 14 days.
THE FARM
A few hundred small farmers, hand-picked, selected fruits, all land at the coop-owned washing station Muchagara and then they’re embraced by real pros who know what it's all about. A Kenyan classic, that's how it almost always works there.
ROASTER'S COMMENT
And BAM! Fresh Kenya rolls in again. A coffee that tastes like fruity yoghurt? Yes, sweet, a little milky and very berry-like.
Yes, please!
PACKAGING
The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.
