Ryder Specialty CoffeeNyota AB Single Origin Kenya Nyota, meaning "Star" in Swahili is a regional coffee from the Central Highlands of Kenya, and is a classic representation of the flavours and cup profile of coffees from this region. This coffee is grown by various smallholders who cultivate some of Kenya's most popular varieties, such as Ruiru, Batian and SL28. These farmers work within cooperatives, and when the coffee cherries are picked, they are then sent to a washing station, or "factory" to be processed. This coffee follows the traditional Kenyan washed method: pulping, controlled fermentation, and thorough washing. Final classification is conducted at the dry mills, where the beans are screen-sized to guarantee the AB quality standard and roasting consistency.
