Select roast profile (Drip or Espresso) based on your brew method.
High-quality traceable Kenyan coffees are typically available from either privately owned estates or cooperatively managed washing stations called factories. The Kimaratia Farmer Cooperative Society, located on the slopes of the Aberdares Mountain range in Kiambu County, consists of three washing stations, of which Gachika is the largest. After ripe cherries are delivered to Gachika for sorting and pulping, many of the cooperative’s 500 members take spent pulp back to their farms to mix into fertilizer for their coffee trees.
In the cup, look for notes of black plum, dark brown sugar, and port wine.
