Kivanga - Washed Process - 2025
Tasting notes: ripe cherry, blackberry in the cup, black tea
At 7.5 hectares, Morris Njagi's Kivanga estate is considered small by Kenyan standards. Historically, producers of this size would deliver their cherry to a centralized processing site, or "factory," rather than maintain their own processing infrastructure.
