This is the first of our Kenyan selections for this year, again from our good friends at Nordic Approach who consistently delivery fantastic quality when it comes to the African producing nations.
Kiriaini Teresia is a single estate. All coffees are pulped, dry fermented, washed, soaked and sundried. Cherries are hand sorted for unripes and over-ripes by the farmer before they go in to production. A disc pulping machine removes the skin and pulp. The coffee is fermented for 16-24 hours under closed shade. After fermentation the coffees are washed and graded by density in washing channels and are then soaked under clean water for 16-18 hours before being moved to the drying beds.
We opted for the AB having cupped both the AA & AB as we felt it to be a little more distinctive than the usual ‘Kenyan’ cup profile.
