Kenyanelli Coffee producing area introduces the washing treatment method of Mushika Cooperative Clonji Coffee Flavor

Introduction of Neri Coffee producing area

The best coffee beans in Kenya come from the central region. At present, western Kenya is also interested in growing coffee, such as Kisi Kisii, Trans-Enzoya Trans-Nzoia, Keiba Keiyo, Malagua Marakwetfm region.

Neri Nyeri is 1200-2300 m above sea level, east of Aberdare Mountains, near the high mountains of Mount Kenya. With high terrain and fertile soil, the harvest period of coffee has two seasons in a year, which are from October to December and from June to August. The varieties are SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru 11 and Batian. At the center of Neri Nyeri is the Kenyan volcano (extinct volcano). The red soil of the volcanic soil produces Kenya's best beans, so agriculture is the most important industry in the region, and coffee beans are one of its main cash crops. Compared with the big landlords, Niri is generally a small peasant cooperative.

Mushika Cooperative Society

The Mutheka Farmers' Cooperative Society, located in the Nyeri district of central Kenya, has grown coffee since the 1950s, and the Clonji washing Plant (Chorogi Factory) is one of seven nearby washing plants.

Neri is located in the mountains of the Kenyan Mountains and nearby Kirinyaga and is known as the best producing area in Kenya, famous for its complex and strong flavor.

Most of the farmers are small farmers, with an average of 250 coffee trees. Farmers form cooperatives and send cherries to washing plants for treatment.

After the coffee farmers harvest the cherries, they will first screen them, separate the immature fruits, and send them to the washing plant, which will be dealt with on the same day.

The peel machine is used to remove the peel and pulp, which is divided into three grades according to the density. 1 and 2 are better grades and will enter the fermentation process independently.

Dry fermentation was carried out under a sealed cover for 16-24 hours, cleaned after fermentation, and graded again according to density in the ditch. Finally, it will be soaked in clean water for 16-18 hours.

It takes 21 days to use the African viaduct in the sun. As Kenya's climate is quite humid during the harvest season, there will be occasional light rain, so the drying process after washing is very laborious, covering the coffee beans with a layer of plastic cloth. When it rains suddenly, cover the cloth, and when the rain stops, lift the cloth until the beans are completely dry, basically covering the beans at noon and at night.
