The co-op has seven washing stations in total.\r\rAt the Kihuyo factory the coffee cherry is washed and pulped. This initially separates the dense beans from the immature mbuni's (floaters) using water floatation which means the denser beans will sink and be sent through channels to the fermentation tank. \rThis first stage of fermentation will last for around 24 hours, after which the beans are washed and sent to the secondary fermentation tank for another 12-24 hours.\r\rOnce the fermentation process is completed, the beans enter the washing channels where floaters are separated further and the dense beans are cleaned of mucilage.\r\rThe washed beans will then enter soaking tanks where they can sit under clean water for as long as another 24 hours. This soaking process allows amino acids and proteins in the cellular structure of each bean to develop which results in higher levels of acidity and complex fruit flavours in the cup - it is thought that this process of soaking contributes o the flavour profiles that Kenyan coffees are so famed for. \r\rThe beans are then transferred to the initial drying tables where they are laid in a thin layer to allow around 50% of the moisture to be quickly removed. \r\rThis first stage of drying can last around 6 hours before the beans are gathered and laid in thicker layers for the remaining 5-10 days of the drying period.\r\rThe dry parchment coffee is then delivered to a private mill and put into, bodegas to rest, these are raised cells made of chicken wire which allows the coffee to breathe fully.\r\rThe coffee is composed of a blend of well-known Kenyan varieties, including SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, SL28, originally selected in the 1930s, is especially valued for its drought tolerance and complex, sweet profile with wine-like undertones. SL34, another historic selection, is admired for its \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-block: unset;
