The cherries are then processed at La Pradera, where they ferment aerobically for 45 hours to develop depth and complexity. Drying takes place on raised beds or in controlled drying stations for 8-12 days, with careful monitoring to reach an ideal moisture content. The result is a vibrant, fruit-forward coffee with balanced sweetness, structure, and clarity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andersen \u0026 Maillard","offers":[{"title":"250 g","offer_id":64594857623901,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/2956\/7397\/files\/colombia_santa_monica.png?v=1777890960"},{"product_id":"kamacharia-farmers-riakiberu-ruiru-11-sl-28-batian-washed","title":"Kamacharia Farmers - Riakiberu - Ruiru 11, SL 28, Batian - Washed","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eKenya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRuiru 11, SL 28, Batian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWashed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRaspberry, red currant, citrus, floral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:cff5ab27-a05f-49fc-a3cf-b0e6bf8dd04d-0\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-2\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"59eec608-fb70-44a8-852e-a8532d5fc9de\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-3\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-turn-start-message=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1217\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRiakiberu Coffee Factory, established in 1994, is located in Kamacharia, Murang’a County, Kenya, at 1,650 meters above sea level. It serves 1,542 active smallholder farmers who mainly grow SL28, alongside smaller amounts of Batian and Ruiru 11. The region has two harvests each year: a smaller crop from March to May and the main harvest from October to December.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe area’s red volcanic soils are rich in nutrients and, together with annual rainfall of around 1,200 mm and temperatures between 16 - 26°C, provide ideal conditions for high-quality coffee production. Farmers follow Good Agricultural Practices, including the use of organic manure and carefully applied inputs to support soil health and consistent yields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRiakiberu processes coffee using the fully washed method. After harvesting, cherries are depulped and fermented for 12 - 24 hours, depending on temperature and desired flavour development. The beans are then washed and dried on raised African beds for 10 - 22 days, where they are regularly turned to ensure even drying. A slower drying process contributes to greater balance, clarity, and complexity in the final cup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe factory also supports its farmers beyond production. Members can access farm inputs on credit and receive cash advances when needed, helping to ease financial pressure throughout the season. Environmental efforts include the use of wastewater soak pits and encouraging the planting of shade trees such as grevillea and macadamia, which support biodiversity and protect the coffee plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andersen \u0026 Maillard","offers":[{"title":"250 g","offer_id":64594899337565,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/2956\/7397\/files\/kenya.png?v=1777891498"},{"product_id":"bmo-cap","title":"BMO cap","description":"","brand":"Andersen \u0026 Maillard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64854567584093,"sku":null,"price":248.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/2956\/7397\/files\/cap.png?v=1782208301"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.andersenmaillard.pro\/collections\/coffee.oembed","provider":"Andersen \u0026 Maillard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
