Cherries are stringently hand sorted prior to pulping, with damaged and under ripe cherries being separated out from the red, ripe lots. The factory has two disc pulpers installed to remove the skin and fruit from the inner parchment layer that is protecting the green coffee bean. After pulping, the coffee is fermented overnight to break down the sugars and is then sent through washing channels to be sorted by density before being delivered to the soaking tank by water pumped from the River Rwabura. After soaking, coffee is spread out on raised drying tables. Time on the drying tables depends on climate, ambient temperature and total production volume undergoing processing. Drying can take from 7 to 15 days in total. While drying, the parchment is repeatedly moved and sorted to remove any damaged or discolored beans and is covered during the hottest part of the day to maintain even temperatures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome of the issues that farmers face are low production due to loss from pests and diseases and the relatively high cost of inputs compared to income from coffee. Many cannot afford to plant disease resistant varieties and face being priced out of the market as their yields diminish. The cooperative has undertaken actions to increase yields and improve their member’s livelihoods. Coffee Management Services (CMS), their field service agent, has a long term goal to increase coffee production through farmer training, ready access to inputs, Good Agricultural Practice seminars, and providing the most current printed materials on sustainable farming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended Brewing Method:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.broadcastcoffeeroasters.com\/aeropress.html#\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.broadcastcoffeeroasters.com\/aeropress.html#\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAeropress\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e|\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eChemex\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e|\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eV60\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brewtoria.com\/pages\/brew-guide\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/brewtoria.com\/pages\/brew-guide\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrew Guide\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/2961\/files\/trust-badge01_1_480x480.png?v=1605438237\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/2961\/files\/trust-badge01_1_480x480.png?v=1605438237\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadcast Coffee","offers":[{"title":"11oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40649103769709,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11oz \/ Fine Grind (Espresso)","offer_id":40649103802477,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11oz \/ Medium Grind (Drip | Pourover)","offer_id":40649103835245,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11oz \/ Coarse Grind (Cold Brew | French Press)","offer_id":40649103868013,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Pound \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40649103900781,"sku":null,"price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Pound \/ Fine Grind (Espresso)","offer_id":40649103933549,"sku":null,"price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Pound \/ Medium Grind (Drip | Pourover)","offer_id":40649103966317,"sku":null,"price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Pound \/ Coarse Grind (Cold Brew | French Press)","offer_id":40649103999085,"sku":null,"price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Pound \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40649104031853,"sku":null,"price":109.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Pound \/ Fine Grind (Espresso)","offer_id":40649104064621,"sku":null,"price":109.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Pound \/ Medium Grind (Drip | Pourover)","offer_id":40649104097389,"sku":null,"price":109.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Pound \/ Coarse Grind (Cold Brew | French Press)","offer_id":40649104130157,"sku":null,"price":109.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/2961\/files\/BroadcastKenyaGachotha_e1c97b57-2b4e-4c53-b204-c65fce1857a5.png?v=1685108079","url":"https:\/\/brewtoria.com\/products\/broadcast-coffee-kenya-karatu-pb-light-roast","provider":"Brewtoria Coffee ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
