ORIGIN : KENYA REGION : KIGANJO FARM / WASHING STATION : NDUNDU FACTORY ALTITUDE : 2000 M VARIETY : SL-28, SL-34 PROCESSING : WASHED Farm / Processing Station: The affiliate members of the co-op are required to be extremely diligent to carry out all agronomic activities associated with high quality coffee production, including sourcing coffee seeds from the Coffee Research Institute?s Coffee Research Station. Planting and cultivating is implemented according to the guidelines submitted by the group leaders and technical advisors. Fieldwork involves weeding, pruning, application of fertiliser, mulching and technical advice. Technical advice is offered through farmer training programs and field visits offered by the ministry of agriculture. As for the rest of the coop in the Ndundu factory all coffee cherries are handpicked and are delivered to the mill the same day, where they will get rigourously sorted through floatation tanks, whilst factory employees oversee the process and any under ripe or damaged cherries will not be accepted by the “Cherry Clerk”, who keeps meticulous records of how much coffee each producer delivers on any given day and thus how much payment is due once the coffee has been sold. PB means peaberry. Peaberry is the name given to a very specific shape of coffee bean, which is the result of a natural mutation of the coffee cherry. While there are usually two beans in each fruit, a cherry with a peaberry mutation produces only one rounder bean. Peaberry mutations occur in approximately 5% of all coffee varieties. These beans are known for being rounder, smaller, and denser, which, when handled correctly, can contribute to a more even roast color. Processing: Coffee cherries are carefully handpicked at peak ripeness by smallholder farmers and delivered to the factory for processing. The cherries undergo a Fully washed method, where they are first sorted, then pulped to remove the outer skin. Parchment is then fermented in concrete tanks for 12 to
