From CETO Coffee Roasters
A Kenyan coffee we split with Norml, and you can definitely tell: it holds true to the tea-like legacy of its progenitor, Minmax. We're gonna have fun experimenting with this coffee and trying to bring as much juice out of it as we can. Kathakwa Factory is part of the long-standing Kibugu Farmers Cooperative Society and draws cherry from more than 1,000 smallholder farmers straddling the Embu–Kirinyaga border. Supported by Kibugu FCS's agronomic training and pre-harvest financing, Kathakwa consistently delivers clean, structured Kenyan profiles with excellent physical preparation and grading reliability. Tasting Notes: Meyer Lemon, Red Grape, Hibiscus Tea Funk: 0/5 Intensity: 2/5 Processing: 0.5/5 Varietal: Field Blend Region: Kibugu Farmers Cooperative Society, Embu, Kenya Process: Washed - Ripe cherry is delivered daily and processed using Kenya's traditional disc depulpers, followed by a 24-hour wet fermentation and a clean water soak that ensures thorough mucilage removal and clarity in the cup. The coffee is slow-dried on raised beds for 1–2 weeks, then carefully conditioned on site for moisture stability. Altitude: 1,500–1,700 masl Importer: Covoya
