It is not an unpleasant acidity, but rather a juicy and bright sensation reminiscent of fresh fruit and citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why we particularly recommend this coffee to those who already enjoy specialty coffee or want to start discovering fruitier profiles that are different from traditional flavors of cocoa, chocolate, or nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs it better to buy Kiandu whole bean or ground?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can buy Kiandu as \u003cstrong\u003ewhole bean or ground coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The cherries are grown by small producers belonging to \u003cstrong\u003eMutheka Farmers Cooperative Society\u003c\/strong\u003e and delivered to Kiandu Coffee Factory for processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe station is located in the Tetu area, in Nyeri, near the slopes of Mount Kenya. The coffee trees grow at high altitudes on volcanic soils, conditions especially favorable for producing complex, bright coffees with a marked fruity expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMutheka Farmers Cooperative Society\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMutheka Farmers Cooperative Society\u003c\/strong\u003e brings together thousands of small coffee producers from Nyeri. The cooperative was established in 2004 and works with different processing stations in the region, including Kiandu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKiandu receives cherries grown by hundreds of small coffee farmers in the surrounding area. This cooperative model allows producers with small plots to jointly process their harvests and access the international specialty coffee market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVarieties SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKiandu combines some of the most representative varieties of Kenyan coffee cultivation: \u003cstrong\u003eSL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSL28 and SL34 are deeply linked to the history of Kenyan coffee and are especially appreciated for the quality they can develop in the cup. Batian and Ruiru 11 are more modern varieties that were incorporated into Kenyan coffee cultivation, seeking, among other objectives, greater resistance to certain coffee plant diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of these varieties contributes to the complex, juicy, and recognizable character of this coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWashed process\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKiandu is a \u003cstrong\u003ewashed coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e. After selecting the ripe cherries, the coffee is de-pulped and goes through the different stages of fermentation and washing before slowly drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis processing results in an especially \u003cstrong\u003eclean and defined\u003c\/strong\u003e cup, allowing the fruit, acidity, and sweetness of the coffee itself to appear very clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy are Kenyan coffees so renowned?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKenya has become one of the great benchmarks for \u003cstrong\u003eAfrican specialty coffee\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its best coffees are known for combining an especially lively acidity with profiles of red fruits, citrus, great sweetness, and a very juicy mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNyeri is one of the regions that best represents this style. The altitude, volcanic soils, cultivated varieties, and the system of small farms organized around washing stations have contributed to creating a very recognizable sensory identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArtisan roasted in Malaga\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003eArtisan Coffee Roasters\u003c\/strong\u003e, we roast Kiandu in Malaga with an \u003cstrong\u003eOmniroast\u003c\/strong\u003e profile, seeking to preserve its fruity character and acidity while developing enough sweetness and structure to be enjoyed in different preparation methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are looking for a different specialty coffee, with clearly recognizable fruit, sweetness, and a juicy cup, Kiandu is one of our recommendations to discover the profile of great Kenyan coffees.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artisan Coffee","offers":[{"title":"250 grs \/ Coffee Beans","offer_id":65755115913565,"sku":"CDK-K-T2G-GCEG","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grs \/ Ground Moka","offer_id":65755115946333,"sku":"CDK-K-T2G-GMCI","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grs \/ Ground Espresso","offer_id":65755115979101,"sku":"CDK-K-T2G-GME","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grs \/ Ground Filter","offer_id":65755116011869,"sku":"CDK-K-T2G-GMF","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grs \/ Ground French press","offer_id":65755116044637,"sku":"CDK-K-T2G-GMÉ","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grs \/ Ground Aeropress","offer_id":65755116077405,"sku":"CDK-K-T2G-GMA","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grs \/ Ground Cold Brew","offer_id":65755132002653,"sku":"CDK-K-T2G-GMCB","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg (10% discount already applied) \/ Coffee Beans","offer_id":65755116110173,"sku":"CDK-K-T1K(DDYA-GCEG","price":60.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg (10% discount already applied) \/ Ground Moka","offer_id":65755116142941,"sku":"CDK-K-T1K(DDYA-GMCI","price":60.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg (10% discount already applied) \/ Ground Espresso","offer_id":65755116175709,"sku":"CDK-K-T1K(DDYA-GME","price":60.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg (10% discount already applied) \/ Ground Filter","offer_id":65755116208477,"sku":"CDK-K-T1K(DDYA-GMF","price":60.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg (10% discount already applied) \/ Ground French press","offer_id":65755116241245,"sku":"CDK-K-T1K(DDYA-GMÉ","price":60.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg (10% discount already applied) \/ Ground Aeropress","offer_id":65755116274013,"sku":"CDK-K-T1K(DDYA-GMA","price":60.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg (10% discount already applied) \/ Ground Cold Brew","offer_id":65755132035421,"sku":"CDK-K-T1K(DDYA-GMCB","price":60.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0497\/3268\/1885\/files\/kneia-kiandu-web.png?v=1788248991","url":"https:\/\/artisancoffee.es\/en\/products\/cafe-de-kenia-kiandu-lavado","provider":"Artisancoffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
