This washed Kenyan has been processed at the Ndimi Factory, managed by the Inoi Farmers’ Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga County. This region is known for its favourable conditions for coffee cultivation, such as its rich, fertile soil and elevated altitudes.
Processing
Once the cherries have been delivered to the washing station, they are handsorted. The underripes, insect damaged, and other defective cherries are removed. The cherries are then pulped and the parchment is fermented overnight. Once the fermentation is completed, the parchment is washed and separated into P1, P2, P3, and P light. It is then dried for 10 to 20 days.
After processing, the farmers of this cooperative take the cherry pulp home and mix it with cow manure to use as fertiliser on their farms.
