## What the Brand Says

> Historically, natural processing in Kenya has been relegated and deemed as low quality. The dregs of production are haphazardly thrown onto drying beds and sold as M'buni to the local market, but the Mchana Estate has redefined this process with this balanced yet intriguing natural. This AB screen size natural coffee has the intrinsic bright apple and citric acidity you'd expect from a Kenyan coffee, while the natural process rounds out the texture and transforms the sweetness into tropical fruit.
