Coffee Bio
Lenana takes its name from Point Lenana, one of the peaks of Mount Kenya. It is a selection of washed AB coffees from select estates and farmer cooperative societies in the central counties around the mountain.
Deep red and black volcanic soils rich in organic matter, combined with high elevation, help cherries develop rich flavours and natural sugars. Kenya's classic SL28 and SL34 varieties, of Bourbon and Kent ancestry, are complemented by Ruiru 11.
Pickers harvest ripe cherries early in the morning and take them to the wet mill to be sorted and pulped. The beans ferment overnight, are washed in channels and sorted by density, then sun-dried on raised beds to 10–12% moisture.
The new 26/27 lot is at origin and pending sample approval; cup notes and score will be added once it has been cupped.
