Grapefruit and brown sugar lead, with kumquat and a mulling spice finish. In the cup: grapefruit, brown sugar, kumquat, and mulling spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKamunyaka serves smallholder producers farming across the highlands of central Kenya, with much of the surrounding coffee grown at 1,700–1,800 meters. Most producers farm on a small scale, delivering between 200 and 1,200 kilograms of cherry during a harvest that typically runs November through December. The station receives roughly 1.5 million kilograms of cherry a season. In recent years the cooperative has focused on revitalising its washing stations, improving processing, and building a stronger culture around quality. Its chairman, after returning home to invest in his community and helping revive the Miiri station, describes his relationship with coffee simply: \"Coffee is religion. It is my passion.\" Iria-Ini is also working toward its own cupping facility to evaluate coffees at origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot is Dry Washed: depulped and fermented dry for twenty-four hours, followed by channel washing, then dried for approximately fifteen days on raised beds. The processing impact in the cup is light, with few signs of fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24-hour dry fermentation is the defining step. It keeps the cup clean and bright, letting the grapefruit and kumquat character come through with brown sugar sweetness underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright and spiced: grapefruit and kumquat lead, with brown sugar sweetness through the middle and a warm mulling spice finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍈 Grapefruit 🍬 Brown Sugar 🍊 Kumquat 🌿 Mulling Spice\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Onyx Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Omni \/ 284g \/ October 8th","offer_id":58981211799926,"sku":"ONYX-KAMUNYAKA-AA-RUIRU-11-BATIAN-SL28-SL34-WASHED-284G-OCT08","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/kenya_86738ee2-426d-4fbb-b3f0-a939ec9fa107_800x-cropped.png?v=1791903501","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/onyx-coffee-kamunyaka-aa-washed-kenya","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
