About This Coffee
The Region
The constituency of Kisii is located in the west of the rift valley and close to Lake Victoria. The Western part of Kenya enjoys favourable climate for coffee growing. Up to 10,000 small holder coffee farmers in the Gusii region are poised to benefit from a training on crop diversification to maximize crop production in the highly populated area through a project dubbed Gusii Regenerative Agriculture Landscape (GuRAL) supported by the Rainforest Alliance.
The Process
The coffee is wet processed, where the fully ripe cherries are:
• Pulped
• Fermented for 12 - 48 hours (depending on climatic conditions)
• Washed in grading channels and then soaked underwater for 12-72 hours.
• Dried slowly over 2 - 3 weeks on raised African beds until the moisture content is reduced to 10-12%.
The coffee is then processed at Othaya dry mill where it is rested in parchment for 3 weeks before being hulled, cleaned and graded by bean size. Finally, the coffee is carefully handpicked before being bagged in GrainPro for export from Mombasa.
