PRODUCER
Kii Station is one of the stations owned by the Rungeto Farmers’ Cooperative Society (FCS). Despite its smaller size, it is a well-known and reputable station. Its quality coffee processing and strong attention to detail have earned it a reputation as one of Kenya’s cleanest and best-organized stations. Throughout the coffee process, Kii emphasizes the highest quality product sought by the biggest gourmets in the coffee market.
PROCESSING
Only ripe cherries are transported to the station. This is followed by manual sorting and rinsing in tanks of water. Here the farmers get rid of the less ripe and damaged fruit. The cherries are then peeled, fermented, and washed again in water. To bring out the flavor profiles for which Kenyan coffee is famous, the cherries are placed in vats of water. Drying takes place on special beds designed for optimum air circulation and temperature. Before export, the fruit is carefully sorted through screens according to size and shape.
