FROM THE PRODUCER:

HISTORY:
Kuria Yeast comes from the hills of Migori County, in Kenya’s lesser-explored southwest. Grown by smallholder farmers and processed by Misadhi Coffee, this lot reflects the power of community-driven quality. Misadhi works with over 2,000 producers across Kisii, Homa Bay, and Nyamira, helping them implement better agronomic practices, use improved seedlings, and elevate post-harvest standards.

This particular lot was collected in the Kuria ward, where Misadhi has established local buying stations to simplify cherry delivery and strengthen traceability. Each ward is processed individually, with the goal of continuous improvement and support to local producers.

PROCESSING:
After selective handpicking, cherries are floated and sorted, then placed into fermentation barrels. In this oxygen-free environment, the natural fermentation is enhanced with Larger Yeast, resulting in more vibrant and layered profiles. The cherries ferment for four days under close monitoring and regular agitation before being dried on raised African beds.

Once dried to a precise moisture level, the cherries are stored, hulled, and vacuum-sealed to preserve their vibrant character. The result is a cup that shines with clarity and tropical sweetness—an impressive representation of Kenya’s evolving processing innovation.
