Zahabu is a mixture of different batches of mills, carefully selected to suit the taste profile we are looking for. In this sense, Zahabu is not a place or a mill, but a quality standard in terms of this profile should be coffee. “Zahabu” in Swahili means gold. All the granules are processed according to the Kenyan method, which is double fermentation: the granules are fermented, washed, fermented and washed again a second time. This helps to highlight the fruity profile of Kenya, which we all loved. The area is covered with red volcanic soil, which is ideal for trees.
