About the farm:
 
Natural processed coffees are less common in Kenya, but this delicious, fruity Natural from Ndia-Ini Cooperative highlights all the best parts of Natural coffees combined with Nyeri’s superb microclimates.  
 
The station is owned by cooperative members who deliver their cherry there. The station was built in 1969. The cooperative has 1,200 registered farmers, of whom about 395 farmers consistently deliver cherry to the station.
 
Farmers selectively handpick ripe, red cherry and deliver it to Ndai-Ini Cooperative’s station. At intake, the Cherry Clerk oversees meticulous visual sorting and floating, accepting only dense, ripe cherry. Cherry is laid on raised beds to dry. Drying cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 10 to 14 days for cherry to dry.
