Early-harvest cherries are hand sorted at the mill for 90%+ ripeness, then piled on raised beds in cocoons for four days to ferment aerobically, driving fruit intensity.

SL28 was bred from drought-resistant Tanzanian stock, while SL34 traces back to French Mission Bourbon trees at Kabete. Together they became the backbone of Kenyan specialty coffee and remain the varieties most smallholders in Nyeri grow today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are tall, low-yielding trees that need careful farming, but roasters around the world seek them out for their intense, juicy acidity and deep red-fruit and blackcurrant character.
