Karambi washing station has very high quality standards.  After purchasing the coffee cherries from the smallholder producers, the Karambi washing station sends the cherries through a strict sorting process.  First, washing station staff remove any lower quality cherry through flotation.  Secondly, a specially trained staff visually inspects the remaining cherry for any visual defects.  Consecutively the cherries are pulped using a disc pulper and then placed in thin layers on raised beds to sun dry.

This particular coffee is sweet and well structured with a velvety mouthfeel! It has fruity notes of red apple and grapes which are balanced out by undertones of almonds and brown sugar.
