Kenya mchana estate

We have 50kg:
500g - $28
1kg - $51

We have sourced a bag of a premium Peaberry from Kenya Mchana Estate.  Typically, coffee beans form on a coffee plant containing two halves. Each half is flat where they join, but sometimes only one side becomes fertilized. When this happens, the coffee cherry contains only one bean and grows into the size and shape of a pea. Because of its different shape the peaberry is graded separately and is highly sought after. Mchana Estate is part of the Socfinaf group of farms, located close to the river Mukuyu, Northeast of Nairobi city. They firmly believe in an environmental responsible management and care about their social responsibilities.
