Konyu Peaberry is a fully washed Kenyan coffee grown by farmers who are part of the Kabare Society, which operates 10 factories and has nearly 14,000 members. Farms are located throughout the Kirinyaga region, which is situated just south of Mount Kenya, the second-highest peak in Africa. The coffee varieties grown—SL 28, SL 34, Ruiru 11, and Batian—thrive in the region’s high elevation (around 1,800 meters) and benefit from its nutrient-rich volcanic soil.

Cherries are handpicked and pulped upon delivery to the washing station. Fermentation typically lasts 14-16 hours. Once the mucilage is fully broken down, the coffee is moved to raised beds where it is gently dried over the course of 14-21 days.
