Natural processing in Kenya is still a rarity that you have the opportunity to try. Check out the natural-treatment coffee from Kenya, which is still found on holidays in the coffee market.
Roasted coffee beans dedicated for alternative brewing methods
Is it ok to roast coffees "for everything"? It can be, just why? There was an old bleach commercial that perfectly sums up the multitasking and versatility of products:
- when something is for everything, it's for nothing.
When brewing coffee in an espresso machine, which is a pressurized method, the ground coffee literally comes into contact with water for 25 to 35 seconds. If we use, for example, a drip, AeroPress or Chemeks, or a pour-over coffee maker, the coffee in such methods brews from 2.5 to 12 minutes....
That's why our Kenya Devil Fruit is roasted specifically for alternatives. Each method requires a different roasting profile, and properly roasted coffee will reveal its unique character in your cup. We just highlight it, and you discover it.

Why is the Roastains roaster the best source of coffee?
We are a small, local coffee roaster. The beans we choose are grown by farmers who have small plantations, and their annual harvest is often less than the weekly demand of a big-box store. That's why, you won't find our coffees in the market. We love quality and uniqueness. We roast our coffee every day and know absolutely everything about our beans.
That's why you can buy packages filled with fresh coffee that comes from a verified source. What's more, below you'll learn all about the country, region, plantation and processing of the coffee that could be in your home in just three days!

Explore the Rift Valley region
The Rift Valley contains the Cherangany Hills and a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active. The Cherangany Hills are one of Kenya's five major forest and river basin areas and cover three counties, namely Trans Nzoia, Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot. The Endebess Estate farm is located at the foot of Mount Elgon, an extinct shield volcano on the border of Uganda and Kenya.
Explore Endebess Estate Plantation
In the northern part of Kenya's Rift Valley, near the town of Kitale in Trans Nzoiya County, is the Endebess Estate Plantation. The area of the entire farm is as much as 758 hectares. Coffee is grown on the unique volcanic soil on 248 hectares.
Since the 1940s, Endebess Estate has processed its own coffee, as well as that of neighboring small producers. The farm was once owned by EW D'Ollier. In 1976 it was sold to Gatatha Farmers Co Ltd. and then in 2011 to its current owner and manager, Kaitet Tea Plantations.
Learn about the processing of Kenya Devil Fruit!
Our Kenya Devil Fruit is a naturally processed coffee, it was processed on the farm. The hand-picked coffee cherries were washed in fresh water from the Koitobos River and then sun-dried on African beds. At the Endebess Estate plantation, sun-drying coffee usually takes 21 to 28 days, and the beans are turned at least four times a day.
Read our article on natural processing and learn how the process works.
Natural processing of coffee from Kenya
As you probably know, coffee is processed at special stations. Few coffee farms can afford to process their own, so farmers band together in coffee communities and bring their harvest to nearby stations. Each community needs its own representatives. A cooperative board of directors is elected, which controls, decides and completes all the paperwork related to the station's operations, as well as the sale of processed coffee, or settlements with farmers. When the term ends, new board representatives are voted in.
What is clear is that it would be best for those on the board to stay on for another term. But what can be done to make that happen? It is necessary to "tafadhali watu," meaning to please the people. We Poles know very well that we are most satisfied with the cash, in Kenya it is not different at all!
And now choose wisely here: interesting for Europeans and the rest of the world natural processing from Kenya, which is risky through high losses, or perhaps the well-known wet processing, embraced to perfection?
As I mentioned earlier - dry processing is a poorly controlled process that causes high losses. This is due to the fact that when drying cherries, there is a high risk that mold will form and some may be removed.
Another aspect in favor of the standard washed process is that drying coffee on African beds or patios takes up a great deal of space - as much as three times more than washed. Drying takes about 21 days, another argument against, because time is also money.
The price of naturali from Kenya is six times higher than washed coffees, and yet this processing is still not profitable.
Who can afford dry processing? Independent farmers and owners of processing stations. Natural from Kenya is only for the bigger players.
