This selection from The Naughty Dog Roastery will delight the coffee lover who is not afraid of fruity coffees. In short, a typical Kenyan combination you won't want to put down.
The beans in this selection come from the Kirurumwe FCS processing station. The station is located in the Kianjuki region, at the foot of Mount Kenya. The location of the beans' origin is responsible for their rich fruity flavour. Mount Kenya is an extinct volcano and the volcanic soil provides the coffee beans with a huge amount of nutrients. This area produces coffees that are distinctly fruity. And so it is with this Kirura.
In the washed method of processing, the cherries go through what is known as a peeler, where they hit metal discs with prongs or spikes at tremendous speed, removing the skin and flesh. After this step, we are left with a green kernel, but with some of the flesh (sugar) still remaining. To make it easier to remove the pulp, the grains are left to ferment in tanks for several hours, often tens of hours. After fermentation, the pulp is separated from the grain and goes down more easily. Here we come to the step that makes us call this method washed. The coffee is moved from the tanks to a washing channel where the beans are washed with water and the last of the sugars - the pulp - are removed.
