Washed Processed

Ripe cherries are delivered to the factory by smallholder farmers. During the wet processing stage, wastewater is managed using five soaking pits and recirculated for sustainability. The cherries are processed using a disc pulper with three discs to remove the skin and fruit from the parchment layer surrounding the green coffee bean. After pulping, the coffee is fermented overnight to break down sugars. It is then cleaned, soaked, and spread out on raised drying tables, where it dries for 7–15 days, depending on climate, temperature, and processing volume.

About Kianyangi Coffee Factory

Kianyangi Coffee Factory, established in 1991 under the Murue Farmers' Cooperative Society, is located in Kavutiri near Embu city in Kenya's Eastern Province.
Known for producing high-quality coffee alongside factories like Kavuturi and Gituara, it sources water from the Kamithumo River and benefits from fertile red volcanic soils and moderate rainfall.

The factory primarily processes coffee varieties typical of Kenya—SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian—grown by farmers who average 130 trees each. With harvests starting in November, the region's climate, with temperatures ranging from 13–24°C, is ideal for coffee cultivation and processing.
