Traditionally, producers of similar scale deliver their cherries to cooperative-owned washing stations, where they are processed together with coffees from other farmers in the same region. This often results in a loss of microclimate expression, and even exceptional varieties like SL28 and SL34 may be blended with Ruiru 11 and Batian, further diluting flavor intensity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"1010\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKivanga Estate, however, operates its own processing facilities, allowing full control and traceability back to the farm. After depulping, the coffee undergoes 36–48 hours of wet fermentation, followed by thorough washing with clean water, and is then dried on raised beds for 10–20 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Sur","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":53985968849242,"sku":"BIGSUR_KIVANGA_50","price":6.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/5418\/7098\/files\/1_37-1.png?v=1776004057","url":"https:\/\/beanbodega.coffee\/products\/big-sur-kivanga-estate-kenya-varietal-50g","provider":"Bean Bodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
