this kenyan lot is sourced from kamavindi estate, a third-generation family farm owned by the mbature family. known for their meticulous attention to detail and progressive approach to processing, the family has built a reputation for producing coffees with remarkable clarity and sweetness. after harvest, the cherries are carefully hand-sorted to remove defects before being pulped and transferred to fermentation tanks, where the coffee rests together with the remaining cherry flesh to develop additional depth and complexity. once fermentation is complete, the coffee is thoroughly washed and moved to shaded drying tables, where it is sorted once more by hand to ensure consistency and quality. the final stage takes place on raised african beds under the kenyan sun, where the coffee is slowly dried until reaching the ideal moisture content. this carefully controlled processing results in notes of blackcurrant, lemon and butterscotch. origin: kenya region: embu county farmer: mbature family farm: kamavindi estate processing: washed variety: sl28, k7, ruiru 11 altitude: 1630 - 1700 m notes: blackcurrant, lemon, butterscotch suitable for: filter & espresso partner: stean's beans
