CROWD ROASTER brand introduction (3) Kenya Kiamabara Coffee Factory

Some people might be interested in participating in a roasting event, but hesitate because they don't know the characteristics of the different brands of coffee beans.

This project introduces CROWD ROASTER 's brands to those people.
Our third recommendation is the 【 SL28 】Kiamabara Coffee Factory from Kenya.

A prestigious factory in Nyeri, Kenya

 
Nyeri, located in Kenya, boasts unparalleled recognition and high quality as a coffee-producing region.
 
This region, beloved by roasters worldwide, is home to numerous prestigious coffee factories.
One of them is the Kiamabara Coffee Factory, which belongs to the Mugaga Agricultural Cooperative.
This is a famous factory known for producing coffees with the characteristic, robust sweetness of Nyeri.
 
The Mugaga Agricultural Cooperative consists of 900 farmers from the surrounding area. Kiamabara was established in the early 1980s near Karatina in Nyeri County as a washing station to process the cherries they produce.
 
 
This factory strives to create a sustainable farm by aiming to stabilize production volume and improve quality through farm training and seminars. Furthermore, its managers undergo annual training and actively incorporate the latest information.
 
The harvested cherries are brought to the factory in their whole form. This is to ensure quality by using the factory's high-performance pulpers, to standardize production processing times, and to consider the recycling environment for wastewater during the wet process.
 

It is characterized by the sweetness unique to Nyeri.

Born at the Kiamabara Coffee Factory, this impressive coffee, 【 SL28 】Kiamabara Coffee Factory, truly embodies the terroir of this region.

The varieties consist of SL28 and SL34, and the harvest takes place at a high altitude of around 1600m.
The process is fully washed, resulting in a clean and refreshing aftertaste.
 
Basic flavors: Berry, Apricot
 
After pulping (removing the pulp), the parchment is fermented overnight and then soaked. It is then dried on African beds for 7 to 15 days, depending on the weather conditions, to finish the process.
 
This process is what creates the unique and complex flavor of this coffee.
 
You can enjoy the crisp, distinctive citrus flavors characteristic of Kenyan washed coffee.
In addition to Nyeri's signature berry flavors, it boasts a creamy texture and apricot-like sweetness.
It features a complex flavor profile that leans towards sweetness.
