Baragwi PB – Kenya

There is a unique character to the PB lots from Kenya, there are always low volumes and they are sought after so we are glad to feature this coffee with its fruity, IPA like qualities.

The Baragwi Cooperative Society is well known for factories that consistently produce some of the great coffees of Kirinyaga. The cherries are grown by smallholder farmers in areas surrounding their stations.

This is a blend of some different peaberries from different factories (washing stations) under the same cooperative. These blends are made from peaberries from high-performing outturns from factories which are part of the Baragwi Cooperative Farmers Society.

Each lot consists of coffees from hundreds of smallholders from the area surrounding the washing station (factory). The team at the factory sort the cherries before they go into production. The coffees are traditionally processed with dry fermentation, before being washed and graded in channels, and dried on raised beds. The farmers mainly grow SL28 and SL34, but as with almost all Kenyan cooperative coffees, there can be a mix of everything. Other common cultivars are K7, Ruiru 11 and now also Batian.
