From the producer

Kayu Coffee Factory is the documented processing site. SEY does not name an individual producer or the contributing growers for this factory lot.

From the roaster

SEY describes its first Kayu purchase as a Murang'a AA separation with blackcurrant, hibiscus and Key lime.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is a single-origin factory lot rather than a multi-origin retail blend. Linking the Field Blend record preserves the documented SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 composition without pretending their proportions or a single cultivar identity are known.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Cherry selection

Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated.

02
Depulping and fermentation

Fruit was depulped and dry-fermented overnight.

03
Washing and drying

The coffee was washed and dried on raised beds until it reached 10.5% moisture.

What was added?

SEY discloses flotation and washing but does not publish any added fermentation ingredient.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spices, cultures or flavorings are disclosed; no broader absence claim is inferred.

Why it matters

The disclosed washed protocol emphasizes the lot's Murang'a origin and field-blend character.

What you might taste

Blackcurrant, hibiscus and Key lime.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
