The factory itself is owned by the farmers who deliver their cherries here: There are about 1,045 registered members and 770 active members who utilize the mill and, subsequently, are able to make elective decisions regarding factory representation and management. The factory is located about 6 kilometers from Karatina town, and the conditions in the area are typically ideal for coffee: abundant rainfall, reliable average temperatures, fertile soil, and fresh water from the Ragati river.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee is picked and delivered ripe to the factory, where it is sorted before being depulped the same day as delivery. It is fermented overnight, washed using clean Ragati river water, and then moved to the drying beds. The water used in the washing process is recirculated for conservation purposes, and moved to soak pits away from the fresh-water sources to prevent contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"m-0 cupping-notes\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-italic\"\u003eIntense sugar cane juice with raisin and fresh tomato flavors.

Because the majority of coffee farmers in Kenya own between 1\/8–1\/4 a hectare of land, most deliver coffee in cherry form to a local factory for sorting and processing; at the factory, the deliveries are blended and processed into day lots comprising the day' s deliveries. Our green buyer for Kenya typically takes up residency in Kenya during the harvest due to the sheer number of samples to be cupped and selects the best of these lots to purchase as microlots (fewer than 100 bags).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Erie Coffee Roasters, LLC","offers":[{"title":"12oz Whole Bean","offer_id":53574833406261,"sku":"sku-44709586796800","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12oz French Press","offer_id":53574833439029,"sku":"sku-44709586829568","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12oz Drip Grind","offer_id":53574833471797,"sku":"sku-44709586862336","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12oz Espresso Grind","offer_id":53574833504565,"sku":"sku-44709586895104","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12oz Custom Grind","offer_id":53574833537333,"sku":"sku-44709586927872","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb Whole Bean","offer_id":53574833570101,"sku":"sku-44709586960640","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/1448\/8885\/files\/Roasters_Reserve-Kenya.png?v=1789409263","url":"https:\/\/www.hornetcoffeecompany.com\/products\/roasters-reserve-kenya-gichathaini-aa-nyeri-washed","provider":"Hornet Coffee Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
