Monogram - Mahiga AB

The Mahiga Factory has 400 members that bring their cherry to be processed there. Kenyan coffees are sorted at the mill according to their size by using different-sized screens, with the general assumption that the bigger beans are higher in quality. This lot is referred to as an “AB”, which means that it has beans from both A and B screen sizes. Kenya has a generous supply of fresh water in its central growing regions, which has enabled factories to process their coffees using the traditional 'double wash' method, which requires washing and soaking the coffees twice with fresh, clean water. However, with the effects of climate change on water supplies in some drier regions, there is a growing conversation around the sustainability of this process.
