Kainamui is one of our favourite Kenyan producers and we"ve been buying from them since 2017. The Kainamui washing station services 1800 smallholders, each of them owning, on average 200 trees. Coffee cherry is hand harvested and delivered to the washing station. The cherry is then pulped, removing the majority of the flesh; the beans are fermented for 16 to 20 hours before carefully washing and sorting by weight, ensuring that any poor-quality beans are removed. Following this, they are moved to tanks where they sit underwater for 24 hours and are then moved to raised tables for drying.
