Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Ndunduri washing station in Kenya's Embu region at 1,600 meters altitude. Built in the early 1970s, the station is located on the slopes of Mount Kenya. It uses washed processing with a disc depulper and three sets of discs to remove the skin and fruit. After depulping, the coffee is fermented overnight, then cleaned, soaked, and dried on raised drying tables for 7-15 days. The varieties are SL-28, Batian, Ruiru-11, and SL-34. Flavor notes include red currant, grape, plum, and citrus.
