Carefully Processing Kenyan Coffee
By Amina Omari | Aug 1, 2007
The best Kenyan coffees balance bright acidity with fruity sweetness. Careful processing preserves these flavors.
During processing, the pulp of the coffee cherry is removed to reveal the beans inside.
First the cherries go through a depulping mill. The last remnants of pulp are removed in the fermenting tanks.
After fermentation, the beans are sun-dried in elevated beds
Mechanical dryers finish the job, and the beans are ready to be shipped.
