Washed coffee beans are no stranger to everyone, are they? Although the method of washing is very common nowadays, you can also drink beans from different countries, but in fact, the way of washing is not exactly the same in every producing area.

Some places are washed and dried by machine, and some are washed and then insolated. Wait. However, among the washing methods, the traditional Kenyan washing is very unique. The water washing and fermentation process in Kenya takes up to 72 hours (it usually takes only 24 to 48 hours in other countries), and such a special long-time washing treatment is very rare in countries outside Kenya, especially in Central American countries.

But now, Santa Felicia Manor, which is constantly committed to innovation, has also made a Kenyan-style 72-hour washing treatment! Such a unique place of origin + treatment mash-up, it will be introduced by Xiaoca!

First of all, everyone must be wondering why Kenya's water washing treatment is so special.

Generally speaking, the method of washing coffee beans is to remove the peel and pulp of coffee cherries, leaving only a thin layer of mucous membrane to wash and ferment for 24 hours, before drying by machine or in the sun.

However, the Kenyan-style washing treatment is not the same, the whole fermentation process will reach 72 hours. Kenyan water washing treatment is a cycle of repeated treatment after fermentation, the best quality cherries are selected on the day of harvest, peeled and fermented, fermentation time is 24 hours, and then washed with clean river water after 24 hours. Then, it is fermented again with clean river water for 24 hours, and then washed, so it is repeated 3 times for 72 hours, so it is called Kenyan 72-hour fermentation water washing treatment, referred to as K72. This treatment allows coffee beans to ferment for a long time at low temperature, so that beans can have a brighter, cleaner but full flavor!

Now, if you want to taste K72 beans, Kenya is no longer the only place to choose!
