SEY Kenia washed Mbature Family, Kamavindi Estate Lot #1

Röstdatum: 27.07.2026 (Ist das wichtig?)

Diese winzig-kleine Separation ist das gleiche Nanolot, das SEY letztes Jahr als reines SL28-Lot angeboten hatte. Sie haben es jedoch auch ins Labor geschickt und es scheint, als wäre es nicht ganz so einfach. Neben SL scheint hier sogar die extrem rare Varietät Mokka enthalten zu sein, wirklich sicher wissen werden wir das aber vmtl. erst in ein paar Jahren nach weiteren Tests. Es schmeckt jedenfalls nach Rooibos, Grapefruit und schwarzer Johannisbeere.

VARIETAL: Field Blend*
REGION: Embu
ALTITUDE: 1,680 masl
HARVEST: September 2025
PROCESSING: Hand-picked at peak ripeness. Hand-sorted and floated to further remove defects. De-pulped on the day of harvest. Mixed to ensure uniform distribution. Dry-fermented for 18–20 hours in darkness. Washed and turned repeatedly in fresh water until the post-washing water remains clean. Dry-fermented for an additional 24 hours. Washed, then floated through channels to sort by density and remove any remaining defects. Dried on raised beds under shade nets until moisture content reaches 16%, then moved to upper beds to finish drying to ~10.5%.

*Last year, we released Lot #1 as SL28. However, recent genetic testing on this farm and other farms has begun to challenge long-held assumptions about which varieties are actually being cultivated in Kenya. At this time, we believe this particular lot comprises SL28, Mocha, and SL34. This remains an ongoing research project, and we will share the updated findings as the mystery unfolds!
