It's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethen washed thoroughly using water channels before being soaked underwater for 12–72 hours.

Kii Station holds a special place in my heart because it was the first coffee from Kenya I tried. We decided to bring on two different lots from the Kii Station to see how screen grading affects the end cup profile. This is the Peaberry separation lot which contains small round coffee beans. This is a natural mutation that happens in coffee growing where the coffee cherry contains a single round bean instead of two. This coffee is a bright coffee as expected from Kenya. Over days of tasting we tasted notes of cantaloupe, tangerine, longan, mango, and a sweet honey finish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Washing Station\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Kii factory is operated by Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society (F.C.S.), and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eserves about 1,215 active farmer members.
