What Fuglen Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

Origin: Kenya Producer: Rung’eto Farmers Cooperative Washing station: Kii Factory Region: Kirinyaga, Embu county Varieties: SL-28, SL-34, Batian, & Ruiru 11 Process: Washed Altitude: 1,310 to 1,900 masl Flavour Profile: Blackcurrant, Raspberry & Plum

This coffee is bought from the Rung’eto farmers cooperative. The society consists of around 950 members who grow coffee on the slopes of mount Kenya. This area is known for producing bright and complex flavour profiles. The chairman of the society has implemented various changes in order to improve production. Washing channels are lined with tiles to prevent foreign matter falling in with the coffee and the water being used is filtered and reused.

Processing

Cherries are hand sorted before being de-pulped. The coffee is then dry fermented in tanks before being washed and graded. Finally, it is left to dry on raised beds for 12-20 days depending on weather conditions.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
