Why some details are blank
  • altitude mThe page conflicts internally: the narrative gives 1,700–1,800 m while the technical card says 1,800 m; the range is retained in prose.
  • cultivar setThe official page conflicts: image metadata names SL28, SL34, and Ruiru, while the technical panel names SL28, Ruiru 11, and Batian.
  • harvestThe exact Verve archive does not publish a harvest month or crop year.
  • fermentation durationTraditional double fermentation is named, but stage durations are not published.
  • drying durationSlow raised-bed drying is documented, but no duration or terminal moisture is published.

From the producer

Hundreds of smallholder members of New Kiriti Farmers Cooperative Society deliver cherry to Kirimahiga Factory; Verve reports that most member farms are smaller than one hectare.

From the roaster

Verve publishes tasting notes of guava, magnolia, and white tea for this light-roast archive release.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A traceable Murang'a factory lot documenting the cooperative relationship and a mixed-cultivar field lot. Verve’s page conflicts on the exact cultivar list and gives both a 1,700–1,800-meter range and a 1,800-meter technical-card value, so neither a definitive cultivar set nor a single altitude is asserted.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Cherry delivery

Hundreds of New Kiriti smallholders deliver ripe cherry to Kirimahiga Factory.

02
Double fermentation and washing

The factory uses the traditional Kenyan double-fermentation and washing method.

03
Drying

The washed parchment is slowly sun-dried on raised beds.

What was added?

No added ingredients are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

This is not described as a co-ferment, infused, inoculated, or post-roast flavored coffee.

Why it matters

The traditional washed method is intended to preserve clarity and the delicate fruit-and-floral character published for the lot.

What you might taste

Guava, magnolia, and white tea, according to the roaster.
