Thunguri

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Thunguri factory in Kirinyaga County, Kenya, part of the Kibirigwi Farmers Cooperative. Produced by approximately 1,500 small-scale farmers working on average half-hectare plots, the coffee is grown on deep, well-drained volcanic red soils at altitudes between 1,700 and 1,800 meters above sea level. The varieties are SL28 and SL34. The processing method is washed, involving selective hand-picking, depulping, flotation classification, a first fermentation of approximately 24 hours, washing, a second fermentation of 12-24 hours, channel washing, and a clean water soak for up to 24 hours. The coffee is then dried on raised beds over 5-10 days. Flavor notes include strawberry, raspberry, bergamot, and black tea.
