Kenya AA Hillary Bett Washed (Single Farmer)
About This Coffee
The Region
Hillary's farm is located near Fort Ternan, a small town in Kericho county 50km east of Kisumu. Kericho county is in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley region of south-west Kenya. While the county produces an abundance of speciality coffee, it is famously home to multiple large tea estates and is world renowned for its tea production. Like most of Kenya's coffee-growing regions, Kericho county boasts high altitudes and highly fertile volcanic soils which typically produce medium-high acidity in the cup with notes of citrus and rich chocolate.
The Process
The coffee is wet processed, where the fully ripe cherries are:
• Pulped
• Fermented for 24 hours (depending on climatic conditions)
• Washed
• Dried slowly over 2 - 3 weeks on raised African beds until the moisture content is reduced to 10-12%.
The coffee is then processed at Othaya dry mill where it is rested in parchment for 3 weeks before being hulled, cleaned and graded by bean size. Finally, the coffee is carefully handpicked before being bagged in GrainPro for export from Mombasa.
