Kenya and the Aberdare Range. The combination of rich soil, high elevation, and a cool climate slows the maturation of coffee cherries. This extended development period allows sugars and acids to concentrate, resulting in the bright, citrus-forward profiles that have become synonymous with Kenyan coffees. Located just outside the town of Karatina in Nyeri County, Tegu Factory is one of the largest and oldest wet mills within Tekangu Farmers Cooperative Society. Established in 1969, the cooperative now supports around 1,200 smallholder farmers, most of whom cultivate less than one hectare of land in nearby villages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvesting is done entirely by hand, with farmers selectively picking only ripe cherries before delivering them to Tegu Factory. Once received, the cherries are carefully sorted to remove defects. The coffee is processed using the fully washed method, beginning with pulping and 12-16 hours of fermentation. Afterward, the coffee is soaked in clean water for an additional 24 hours, a step believed to enhance clarity and brightness in the cup. Drying takes place on raised beds inside covered structures, where the parchment is regularly turned to ensure even drying and protect it from heat and nighttime moisture. This stage typically lasts 7-15 days before the coffee is milled and prepared for export.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kalve Coffee","offers":[{"title":"250 g \/ Whole beans","offer_id":54561626030403,"sku":"250P-TeguAB-Whole","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g \/ Moka pot","offer_id":54561626063171,"sku":"250P-TeguAB-Moka","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g \/ In-cup","offer_id":54561626095939,"sku":"250P-TeguAB-InCup","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g \/ Pour-over","offer_id":54561626128707,"sku":"250P-TeguAB-Pour","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g \/ French press","offer_id":54561626161475,"sku":"250P-TeguAB-French","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ Whole beans","offer_id":54561626194243,"sku":"1P-TeguAB-Whole","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ Moka pot","offer_id":54561626227011,"sku":"1P-TeguAB-Moka","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ In-cup","offer_id":54561626259779,"sku":"1P-TeguAB-InCup","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ Pour-over","offer_id":54561626292547,"sku":"1P-TeguAB-Pour","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg \/ French press","offer_id":54561626325315,"sku":"1P-TeguAB-French","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/7619\/2497\/files\/Kalve_Light_Juicy_KenyaTeguAB_250g.webp?v=1781700780","url":"https:\/\/kalvecoffee.com\/en-gb\/products\/kenya-tegu-ab","provider":"Kalve Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
