The coffee cherries are brought from 4 surrounding villages, of which 99% of the varieties grown are SL-28, the other 1% is Ruiru 11. The cherries are then hand-sorted at Muburi Washing Station, floated to remove defects before being pulped in water channels and soaked overnight. The coffee is then washed again, skin dried, followed by 7-15 days of drying on raised beds and stored in conditioning bins for 3-7 weeks to stabilize.
