Info about variety:
Nyasaland is a historic East African variety, often associated with coffees from Malawi and neighboring regions. It is known for its bright and structured profiles, with pronounced acidity and citrus and fruity notes. It has contributed to the development of many modern African selections. SL14 is a variety developed in Kenya to improve drought tolerance. It has a sweet and balanced taste, with softer acidity than other SL selections and good aromatic complexity. It is often used in varietal blends for stability and structure. SL28 is one of Kenya's iconic varieties, later extended to neighboring countries, selected for its cup quality rather than its yield. It stands out for its bright acidity, great sweetness, and notes of citrus, berries, and currants. It is considered one of the most expressive varieties in the specialty coffee world.
Info about process:
In the natural process, cherries are dried whole, with the pulp still attached to the seed. This allows for greater interaction between fruit and bean, resulting in sweeter, more intense, and ripe flavors, often characterized by fruity notes and a more enveloping texture. It's a traditional but delicate process, requiring great control.
