A Taste of Kenya’s Finest Coffee
Kenya is world-renowned for producing exceptional coffee, and our latest Far Out Freddy release showcases exactly why. Grown in the nutrient-rich, high-altitude soils of Kirinyaga County, this coffee delivers a vibrant cup with intense fruitiness, layered acidity, and a honeyed sweetness.
Sourced from Thaita Factory, a wet mill that works with over 800 smallholder farmers under the Inoi Cooperative Society, this lot represents some of the finest Kenya coffee available. The high elevation of 1,900 MASL, combined with the region’s bright red volcanic soils and careful processing, results in a complex and flavorful cup.
The Art of Coffee Processing at Thaita Factory
Harvesting in Kirinyaga happens twice a year: the main harvest from October to December and a smaller fly crop from April to July. Smallholder farmers selectively pick ripe cherries and deliver them to the mill, where the meticulous fully washed process begins.
-
Sorting & Depulping: Farmers hand-sort cherries before pulping, ensuring only the ripest make it through.
-
Fermentation: The beans rest in tanks overnight to develop their clarity and structure.
-
Washing & Drying: After fermentation, they undergo a final wash before being sun-dried on raised beds, allowing for even moisture reduction and flavor concentration.
-
Final Preparation: Once dried to the perfect 10-12% moisture level, the coffee is milled, sorted, and packed for export, ready to be roasted to perfection at Groundstate Coffee Roasters.
