ADDITIONAL INFO
AB Lenana is a single-origin Kenyan blend all grown on the slopes of Mt. Kenya, consisting of both estates and cooperatives, and prepared by Taylor Winch (Coffee) Ltd in Kenya. The coffee was grown by smallholders, generally with average 200 trees each, who delivered their freshly picked ripe cherries to cooperative wet mills. The AB Lenana was disc pulped, fully fermented and washed, sundried on elevated drying tables. Consolidated parchment volumes were then delievred to dry mills where the parchment was hulled, graded according to size and density, and warehoused and warranted for sale.
