ERNST KENYA GETUYA FILTER

The arrival of the first Kenya samples is always a highlight for us. With the Kenya Getuya we have chosen a coffee with a very elegant and fine taste profile. Kenyan coffees can taste very "loud" and expressive. What inspires us about Getuya is its delicate structure, which almost reminds us of a rosé.

The Getuya coffee factory is operated by the Mwirua Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS) and was founded in 1964. There are 900 contributing producers who deliver cherries to the processing station from their small acreage in the region.

Here it is immediately depulpated, fermented under water for 15-24 hours and washed three times before being spread out on metal tables to dry. It usually takes 6-7 days for the washed coffees to dry.

Most of the farmers in Getuya only cultivate between 1/8 and 1/4 of a hectare and often also grow crops other than coffee. This means that they rely on a central processing unit for the sale and processing of their coffee. The producers deliver their coffee in the form of cherries to a factory, where the cooperative sorts, weighs and pays for the delivery. The coffee is then mixed and processed with the rest of the day's deliveries.
