Kenya Nyeri Mahiga Peaberry

Cupping Notes: Mahiga makes a refined Kenya cup, with raw sugars and punchy fruit notes, peach and tart apricot, pineapple upside down cake, brown sugar, cardamom, and a bright splash of acidity. Region: Othaya, NyeriVariety: SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru-11Altitude: ~1800+ maslProcessing: Wet Process (Washed)Certification: Farm Gate Farm Description: The Mahiga Factory washing station sits at 1800 meters in the Othaya constituency of Nyeri County. With just over 500 farmer members, Mahiga collects and processes the whole coffee cherry for farmer members using a disc depulping machine before fermenting the coffee in order to remove the sticky demucilage layer. After the fruit is removed, the coffee is then soaked in clean water where they are completely "washed" of any remaining fruit residue, and then dried on raised coffee drying beds. Farmers in the region grow mainly SL-28 and SL-34, with small amounts of Ruiru mixed in. Mahiga is one of several coffees we picked up from Othaya Farmers Coope
