Classic raspberry and cherry flavours lead, with a lingering aftertaste reminiscent of hard candy fruit. In the cup: raspberry, cherry, and fruit candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRungeto Cooperative employs over 7,800 smallholders cultivating fertile loam soil at 1,600-1,800 meters, with meltwater from Mount Kenya's snow-capped peaks providing a pristine water source for washing. Members can access pre-financing for tuition, agricultural inputs, and emergency funds from the previous year's harvest, alongside input credits and cash advances as incentives. The cooperative has also invested in sustainability — installing easy-to-clean tiles in cleaning channels and fermentation tanks, training farmers on disease prevention, and ensuring processing water is reused elsewhere on the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRipe cherries are sorted before pulping, then fermented overnight on parchment paper. The coffee is washed and graded into P1, P2, P3, and floating beans, with the parchment-paper beans dried on drying racks for 8 to 14 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double-wash and careful density grading are the defining step — it's what builds the classic raspberry and cherry clarity behind this cup, finishing on a distinctive fruit candy sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClassic and clean — raspberry and cherry flavours lead, with a lingering fruit candy aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍇 Raspberry 🍒 Cherry 🍬 Fruit Candy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terraform Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 100g \/ August 20th","offer_id":58680054546806,"sku":"TFM-RUNGETO-CO-DBL-AND-SL28-SL34-WASHED-FIL-100G-AUG20","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/rungeto_77ad15ea-8fd6-4fef-bcb2-19d58a227e65.png-cropped.png?v=1789113062","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/terraform-coffee-roasters-rungeto-dbl-washed-sl28-sl34-kenya","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
