In Kenya as a whole, there are many cases where crops such as black tea and corn are mixed with coffee, but the Nyeri area is a rare area where agriculture is relatively specialized in coffee. Factors such as “high altitude,” “volcanic red soil,” and “rainfall timing and amount” have made the Nyeri area a famous coffee producing region. In terms of production processing, dry fermentation is performed for 36-48 hours after removing the pulp, mucilage is removed using a canal, soaking is performed in a tank for about 16-24 hours, and sun drying is performed on an African bed. This dry fermentation and soaking creates a uniquely juicy coffee from Nyeri with a higher degree of ripeness and brightness. In Nyeri, there is a custom of dividing land among children, so the number of residential areas is beginning to increase in the south, and there are rumors that the production area is decreasing, but in Thunguri, the factory members are working together on production.
