Processing: Washed

Kevote Factory is located in the Embu region of Eastern Kenya. This factory (or Washing Station) is owned and operated by the Kirurumwe Farmers’ Cooperative Society (FCS). There are 1300 farmers who deliver their fruit to the Kevote Factory.

The coffee cherries are picked when ripe, and immediately delivered to Kevote. Only the ripest and highest quality fruit is accepted. These cherries are then pulped on a disc-pulper and fermented under water for 12-16 hours. The fermented coffee is then washed to remove any remaining mucilage. The cleaned parchment coffee is then laid out to dry on raised drying beds for 7-14 days, where it’s regularly raked to ensure even drying.

The washed process using a relatively short period of wet fermentation allows this coffee’s inherent flavour to shine through.

Coffee is exempt from GST.
