Gathiruini Washed, from Kiambu, Kenya

The processing follows a traditional Kenyan washed method. Ripe cherries are hand‑picked early in the morning and delivered to the wet mill, where they are spread on a patio in the afternoon light for sorting. Cherries are then depulped and submerged in water channels, where the coffee is yet again sorted, floater removed, and left to ferment overnight.  Next day, the parchment is washed and laid to dry on raised tables under the sun, and covered in case of rain or harsh sun for 2 weeks, depending on the weather.
