From the roaster

This AA seperation comes from Kamunyaka, a washing station within the Iria-Ini Farmers Cooperative Society in Kenya’s central highlands. Sitting around 1,700 meters above sea level and serving a community of smallholder producers, Kamunyaka is part of a broader effort within Iria-Ini to revitalize its stations through careful processing, experimentation, and a renewed focus on cup quality. This natural lot reflects that transformation and the station’s growing potential.

Grown at 1700 masl, this lot is prepared using the dry washed method, a technique that balances the clarity of traditional washing with the body development often associated with extended fermentation.
