The climatic conditions and natural features of Nyeri create an ideal environment for coffee cultivation. The region boasts rich red volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, and mild yet warm temperatures— all essential for producing high-quality coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eWhen harvest time approaches, producers in Nyeri follow an organic approach, handpicking only the ripest cherries. Once the manual harvest is complete, the fresh cherries are bagged and transported to the wet mill at Gichathaini Factory. Here they undergo depulping to remove the outer fruit layer. The resulting parchment is then transferred to tanks filled with water sourced from the nearby Ragati River. This water, essential for the fermentation process, helps break down the cherries’ mucilage. The mill shows a strong commitment to conservation, especially in the responsible use of water. It works closely with smallholder farmers who contribute their production from plots of 1 hectare or less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eAfter fermentation, the coffee is spread out on raised beds to dry in the sun. Once this stage is complete, the coffee is hulled by the environmentally conscious Highlands Coffee Company. It is then carefully bagged, ready for export. The coffee is either sold directly or made available at the Nairobi Coffee Auction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eBotanical Variety\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eSL28 and SL34 are two of the most renowned Arabica coffee cultivars from Kenya, both selected in the 1930s by the Scott Agricultural Laboratories (hence the “SL” prefix). These varieties form the core of the classic Kenyan coffee profile: a clean cup, bright fruity acidity, and intense sweetness. In particular, SL28 is considered one of the varieties with the highest sensory potential worldwide, often featured in top-scoring specialty microlots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eOur V60 Filter Brewing Recipe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoffee dose:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 18 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrind setting (Comandante):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 18 clicks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater dose:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 300 ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater total dissolved solids (TDS):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 80.5 mg\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 92.5°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtraction time:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 2:40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended drinking temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 55°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CORTINOVIS COFFEE ROASTERS","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole beans","offer_id":51318354706770,"sku":"PERU-ME-25-WH","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/6165\/8706\/files\/Foto_prodotto_Kenya.png?v=1761044146","url":"https:\/\/cortinoviscoffee.info\/products\/kenya-gichathaini","provider":"CORTINOVIS COFFEE ROASTERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
