It is composed of Nyasaland, SL14, and SL28 varieties grown at 1,800–2,200 meters above sea level, where the cooler climate promotes slow cherry maturation and dense, high-quality beans. Freshly picked cherries are pulped and then undergo a 40-hour submerged fermentation in cold mountain spring water before being dried on African raised beds in solar dryers and sorted through 12 distinct quality control stages prior to export. The Coffee Gardens publishes detailed price transparency; a model designed to give buyers clear visibility into how value is shared along the supply chain while creating financial incentives for quality and sustainable practices at farm level.
