Hundred of different small producers growing their own coffee in Embu County, Kiritiri, took part in this coffee bringing them to Ngaindethia wet mill on the same day they are picked from over 70.000 different coffee trees. Red ripe cherries are separated from underripe, overripe, and foreign matter.

This coffee has a nice citrusy acidity, reminding grapefruit, sweetened with blackcurrant notes, with a lemony aftertaste.
