Story:
Getuya Coffee Factory is operated by the Mwirua Farmers Cooperative Society (F.C.S.), and was founded in 1964. There are 900 contributing producers who deliver cherry to the factory from their small (1/5 of a hectare) farmland within the area.
After the coffee is delivered and sorted, it is immediately depulped, fermented underwater for 15–24 hours, and washed three times before being spread on metal drying tables. It typically takes 6–7 days for the Washed coffees to dry, though the factory also produces Honey and Natural coffees.
Brew Guide
We love this as a V60 pour over but brews great for Aeropress, chemex, etc.
Animal:
The wolf (Canis lupus;[b] pl.: wolves), also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. Of all members of the genus Canis, the wolf is most specialized for cooperative game hunting as demonstrated by its physical adaptations to tackling large prey, its more social nature, and its highly advanced expressive behaviour, including individual or group howling. It travels in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair accompanied by their offspring. Offspring may leave to form their own packs on the onset of sexual maturity and in response to competition for food within the pack. Wolves are also territorial, and fights over territory are among the principal causes of mortality. The wolf is mainly a carnivore and feeds on large wild hooved mammals as well as smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage. Single wolves or mated pairs typically have higher success rates in hunting than do large packs. Pathogens and parasites, notably the rabies virus, may infect wolves.
