The BlackBerry Muse is picked in the Nyeri Neri region of Kenya, and the fresh fruit is immediately sent to a nearby joint processing plant for K72 treatment.

The minerals of the Nyeri region are located in the Nyeri producing area west of Mount Kenya in the central part of the country, which is the source of many good coffee in Kenya. Nyeri, located in central Kenya, is home to the extinct volcano Mount Kenya. The red soil in this area breeds the best coffee in Kenya.

Agriculture is extremely important here; coffee is the most important crop. Common cooperatives made up of small farmers are more common than large manors. The area has two harvests a year, but coffee from the end of the year is usually of high quality. The ultra-high quality red soil has created the distinctive BlackBerry flavor of the muse.

Neri has always been a classic coffee producing area in Kenya, relying on Mount Kenya, with a favorable environment for coffee growth. Most Kenyan coffee comes from about 65 per cent of small farmers and 35 per cent of large farms.

K72 treatment method

Originated in Kenya, the cycle repeated treatment method of washing after fermentation was adopted to select the best quality cherries for peeling and fermentation. the fermentation time was 24 hours and washed with clean river water after 24 hours. Then, it is fermented again with clean river water for 24 hours, then washed, and after 3 cycles, it reaches 72 hours, so it is called Kenyan 72-hour fermentation water washing treatment, referred to as [K72 treatment].
