At the base of Mount Kenya, fertile volcanic soil and freshwater streams fill the landscape. Fantastic cup quality comes from Kenya’s notable commitment to processing cherry. The entire regimen is sometimes referred to as the 72 hour process, a triple ferment process where the third stage utilizes fresh water to remove any lingering fruit. Farmers are encouraged to become members of a cooperative, which markets and sells coffee on the whole communities behalf. Most farmers in Kenya are smallholders and typically produce enough cherry for just a few bags.

Kenyan coffee is undeniable: unique, powerful flavors that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Red Fox uses their extensive network to selected a small volume of the absolute best of the best. Enjoy!
