Kenya AB Nguguini
blackberry | caramel | mild stone fruit | vanilla
Founded in 1958, Nguguini wetmill is part of Kibirigwi Farmers’ Cooperative Society Limited based in Karatina, Kirinyaga county. The co-op works with over over 1,200 local smallholder farmers cultivating an average of 1 acre of land at altitudes between 1,600 and 1,650masl.
Kibirigwi FCS is one of the oldest societies in kenya with a great history of crop husbandry and coffee processing.
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 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.
