Kenya Mwendiwega Estate comes from a co-op that processes beans from 985 local Kamwangi farms.
How it tastes
Left of field. Astonishing. Downright incredible!
Complex but clear, waves of flavour wash over your tongue. A fruit cake aroma moves into a mulled wine and lime body. Long lasting black plum and panela sweetness wind this excellent origin down.
How it's processed
Cherries are sorted, de-pulped, tank-fermented for 24–28 hours and washed in grading channels.
The best beans are soaked for an extra 12–24 hours. Drying beds optimise moisture content before being spread on traditional drying beds for 9–13 days, being rotated constantly.
Once the moisture content reaches 11–13%, the beans are moved to conditioning bins, where they're rotated every two days to help homogenise moisture content and stabilise the parchment.
A limited release, this origin is fresh and ready to ship now.
