This coffee is from Kirura, a washing station located in Kiambu County on the slopes of the Aberdare Ranges near Nairobi, Kenya. The farm sits at 1800 meters altitude in red volcanic soils with a warm, temperate climate and annual rainfall of 681mm. The coffee varieties are SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11. Farmers selectively handpick ripe cherries, which are pulped and fermented for 16-24 hours without soaking, then washed and dried on raised beds for 14-20 days. This is a washed processed coffee.
