Kenya Maasai Ground - €9.95 / 250g

From small-scale producers in the center of the country, on the highlands of the "Kiambu" appellation This selection comes from small-scale producers in the center of the country, south of Mount Kenya, on the highlands of the "Kiambu" appellation. It is produced by the following counties: Nyeri, Kirinyaga, and Kiambu. Kenyan producers are generally small owners. 2/3 have an average of 300 trees and produce 1000 to 1500 kg of cherries per year. The remaining third owns what we call in the jargon “Estates” which are grouped into cooperatives. The cooperatives are in charge of preparing the coffees, after receiving the freshly harvested cherries from the producers. The process then carried out is known as "Kenyan washing" or "double washing". Combined with Kenyan varieties, like the k7 here, this preparation method has given the country one of the most prestigious places in the world of specialty coffees, with coffees with brilliant acidity for many years already.
