Kahawa Endelevu is a small farm in Githunguri, Kiambu County, sitting at 1760 masl. established in the 1970s, the farm spans 6.5 hectares and grows classic Kenyan cultivars including SL28 and SL34, managed with a single-stem system for precise tree-by-tree care. run by a dedicated team of four permanent workers (plus seasonal support at harvest), Kahawa Endelevu is known for meticulously separated lots and a quality-first approach, producing clean naturals, hydro-anaerobic fermentations, honey and anaerobic styles, and building their own washing station to expand washed processing.

process yellow honey
ripe SL28 cherries are selectively harvested, then floated to remove low-density fruit. the cherries are pulped, leaving part of the sticky mucilage on the parchment (the “honey” layer). drying is done slowly on raised beds, where gentle fermentation continues during the drying phase, building a deep sweetness and body while keeping the cup clear and structured.
