From the producer

The coffee is sourced from the Ndiaini Factory, which is located in the Nyeri region of Kenya.

From the roaster

This naturally processed coffee comes from Ndiaini Factory in Nyeri County, one of Kenya's most celebrated high elevation growing regions. Ripe cherries from 315 smallholder producers were sealed in food grade bags for 24 to 72 hours before being slowly dried on raised beds for approximately one month.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A natural-processed Kenya from Nyeri County is still a statement. Cherries from 315 smallholders delivering to the Ndiaini Factory were sealed in food-grade bags for up to 72 hours before a month on raised beds - a controlled fermentation 49th Parallel says enhances sweetness and fruit character. Nyeri's classic blackcurrant backbone, taken in a different direction.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Ripe cherry selected

Ndiaini Factory received ripe cherry from 315 smallholder producers in the Rumukia Farmers’ Cooperative Society.

02
Sealed whole-cherry fermentation

Whole cherries were sealed in food-grade bags for 24–72 hours.

03
Slow raised-bed drying

The cherries were dried slowly on raised beds for approximately one month.

What was added?

Nothing added is documented.

What wasn't added?

The roaster does not report added fruit, spices, flavorings, or inoculated cultures.

Why it matters

The controlled natural process is intended to build sweetness and fruit intensity while retaining Nyeri’s lively acidity and clarity.

What you might taste

Strawberry, apricot, orange, milk chocolate, baking spice, and a juicy, rounded sweetness are tasting descriptors, not ingredients.
