Top quality Kenya from a prestigious factory

Kirinyaga, located on the east side of Mount Kenya, is a famous coffee producing region along with Nyeri and Karatina. The 12 factories (selected facilities) run by the region's historic Baragui Agricultural Cooperative (founded in 1953) constantly share information and pay attention to maintaining quality.
 
 
Tim Factory, one of the 12 factories that produced this coffee, brings coffee cherries from 3,500 growers from around the area. In the washed process, sorting is performed before pulping (pulp removal), and fermentation to remove mucilage is carried out by dry fermentation, which does not use water, in consideration of the environment. After washing, it is dried in the sun on a dry table for 8 to 14 days.
This region is dotted with farmland at altitudes between 1,600 and 1,800 meters above sea level, and the fertile volcanic deposits produce coffee with a rich flavor. The varieties are SL28 , SL34, Batian, Ruiru 11 and Kenya's standard cultivars.
The grade of this coffee (green beans) is Kenya's highest grade AA, screen size 17-18 (approximately 7 mm) or higher, so you can experience the outstanding sweetness and clarity that can only be found in the highest quality Kenya. Masu.
The careful work of the producers and Tim Factory has resulted in a coffee that has a firm sweetness, complex flavor, and mild acidity that can be felt at any roast level.
