About Reframe Coffee Roasters:
About this coffee :
The Ngunguru Factory is located in the Mathira division, Nyeri region of the Central province of Kenya. It is 160 km from Nairobi and 5 km from the town of Karatina along the Nairobi–Nyeri highway. This region has deep, fertile soils rich in organic matter with a high water-retention capacity. The soils have a well-developed structure providing good drainage and aeration for the coffee trees.
In this area, farmers mainly grow the SL-28 and SL-34 varieties, often receiving seeds from the factory’s nursery. Ngunguru has a field supervisory committee that oversees all field operations and offers technical advice. Farmers are encouraged to plant shade trees and avoid intercropping to achieve higher production and a demonstration plot exists at the factory to train farmers on good agricultural practices.
After fully ripe cherries are harvested, farmers deliver their coffee to the factory to be depulped on the same day. Cherries are sorted, graded, then depulped and set to ferment overnight. In the morning, the coffee is washed, soaked, and placed on raised beds to begin drying. On the drying tables, parchment is turned continuously to protect it from hot temperatures and ensure even drying.
This Kenyan coffee makes a delightful cuppa. Fruit bomb qualities with notes of grape, cranberry & mandarin fruitiness. It's a must-try for all Kenyan coffee fans.
