Description
This Thunguri coffee comes from the Thunguri Wet Mill in the Kirinyaga County in Kenya, which is renowned for producing some of the country's most exquisite coffees. Thunguri is part of the Kibirigwi Farmers Cooperative Society, which comprises over a thousand smallholder farmers who each cultivate coffee on their small plots of land. These farmers hand-pick only the ripest red cherries and deliver them to the factory on the same day.
The processing at Thunguri is a testament to the quality and care behind Kenyan coffee. The cherries are meticulously sorted by hand, pulped to remove the outer fruit, and then undergo a wet fermentation process. This is followed by an extensive washing and soaking in fresh water, a method that is believed to further develop the coffee's complex acidity and amino acids. Finally, the beans are dried on raised African beds under the sun for one to three weeks. This labor-intensive process, combined with the high-altitude growing conditions and nutrient-rich volcanic soil, is what gives this coffee its stunning flavor.
