About This Coffee
The Region
Kiharu Sub-County is an electoral and administrative unit in Muranga County. It is one of seven constituencies of Muranga County and is known for its deep historical significance as a cradle of Kikuyu culture. It is a key agricultural region in the central highlands known for tea, coffee, and avocado production. The region is characterized by fertile lands, contributing significantly to both local and export markets.
Muranga County, in Kenya’s Central highlands, is home to the slopes and foothills of Mount Kenya. Many rivers run through the region and the soil is rich and volcanic, providing smallholders and cooperatives with the resources to grow and process some of Kenya's most fruit-forward coffees.
Due to the cool temperatures at altitude, particularly at night time, coffees from Kenya's central highlands tend develop and mature slowly producing very dense, hard beans high in acidity and complexity.
The Process
The coffee is wet processed, where the fully ripe cherries are:
- Pulped
- Fermented for 12 - 48 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 delivered to 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.
