Unusual for Kenya, this is a single-estate AA lot rather than the usual large co-op coffee, and it's also a classic SL-28 \u0026amp; SL-34 separation — rare to see distinguished this way. Super ripe blackberry and cranberry lead, with that signature Kenyan \"big\" quality throughout. In the cup: blackberry, cranberry, and ripe fruit intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e Kivanga Estate is managed by Morris Njagi, spanning 75 hectares at 1,750 meters elevation. The estate operates its own washing station, processing its own coffee entirely in-house — a notable departure from the large co-op model that dominates most of Kenya's coffee production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherries were picked at peak ripeness, sorted, floated, and pulped. The coffee then aerobically fermented in open tanks, followed by washing and 14–21 days of drying on raised beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single-estate, self-managed processing is the defining detail here — it's what allows for the rare SL-28\/SL-34 separation and the super-ripe blackberry and cranberry intensity that define this cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Super ripe and big — blackberry and cranberry intensity throughout, carrying that signature Kenyan boldness.
