This coffee is a single origin Kenya from Priory Farm C in Nandi County, grown and processed by Great Rift Coffee at 1400 meters altitude. The coffee is washed, using a detailed process involving hand-sorting, floating in washing channels, pulping, and careful fermentation. The beans are dried on raised African beds over 10-14 days, then milled with density grading and hand-picked for defect removal. The varietals are Ruiru 11 and Batian, both selections of Coffea arabica.
