This coffee was processed using the washed processing method at the Karambi Washing Station, using clean, natural spring water from the surrounding mountains. The team at Karambi are meticulous in their approach to processing, to ensure the highest coffee quality possible is achieved

The cherries are inspected and sorted to ensure only the very ripest cherries are processed. They are then sorted by weight and pulped on the same day. After pulping the coffee is fermented overnight in tiled tanks (for 12 -18 hours) without water and then graded again using floatation channels that sort the coffee by weight. The beans are then soaked in clean water for a further 14 hours, before being moved to raised screens for ‘wet-sorting’ by hand—this is a task almost always carried out by women. The sorted beans are finally dried in the sun on raised screens (‘African beds’) for two weeks.
