Karundu - SL28 - SL34 - Ruiru 11 - Batian [washed] — Kenya

The Karundu Coffee Factory is one of eghti coffee factories owned by the members of the Rugi Farmers Cooperative Society. The Karundu factory was established in the '60's & serves around 700 co-op members. After harvesting, coffee is delivered to the factory and undergoes the wet processing method. Water is pumped from the Sagana River into reservoir tanks for pulping and washing. After pulping, the coffee is stored overnight, washed, soaked and spread on drying tables. The parchment is frequently turned on the drying tables & is then sorted & stored before being delivered to dry mills.

SL28 & SL4 were bred by Scott Laboratories in 1931 using various coffees from Ethiopia, Sudan & Yemen. Ruiru 11 was bred in 1985 at the Coffee Research Station in Ruiru. The aim was for a coffee plant with high resistance to coffee leaf rust & coffee berry disease. Batian, [named after the highest peak of Mt. Kenya] was bred at the Coffee Research Station for disease resistance & released in 2010.
