KENYA MAGUTA ESTATE 250G

Maguta Estate is one of Kenya’s biggest attractions when it comes to farms. David Maguta Ngibuini put it on the map in 2024 after taking first place in the AFCA The Taste of the Harvest competition across Africa, in the natural processing category. We like this lot for its comfortable berry and chocolate sweetness. It has a medium body and a chocolatey aftertaste that makes it a versatile option for most brewing methods. About the Processing Supernatural processing is a Natural process, but generally executed with one or more extra steps and a bit more control and attention. In this case: - Cherries are delivered to the wet mill, where they are hand-sorted by color; - The ripe cherries are processed in an airtight environment for a long period of time at a cool temperature to slow down fermentation, creating a naturally fruity coffee experience; - The cherries are then placed on drying beds in thick stacks to dry and are regularly aired to maintain the temperature during the first week of drying; - The cherries are then spread out in thin layers for the remaining 20 days of drying. The moisture content is reduced to 10-12%; - Drying typically takes 25-30 days; - The coffee is delivered to the dry mill and stored in dry cherries for protection until ready for pulping and export
