Konyu AB is a fully washed Kenyan coffee grown by farmers who are part of the Kabare Society, which operates 10 factories and has nearly 14,000 members. Farms are located throughou t the Kirinyaga region, which is situated just south of Mount Kenya, the second-highest peak in Africa. The coffee varieties grown—SL 28, SL 34, Ruiru 11, and Batian—thrive in the region’s high elevation (around 1,800 meters) and benefit from its nutrient-rich volcanic soil. Cherries are handpicked and pulped upon delivery to the washing station. Fermentation typically lasts 14-16 hours. Once the mucilage is fully broken down, the coffee is moved to raised beds where it is gently dried over the course of 14-21 days. Show more
