This coffee was produced by the small holder farmers and the workers at Gititu coffee factory in Githunguri Sub-County, Kiambu County, Kenya. This lot is a field blend of Landrace cultivars, primarily Ruiru 11, Batian, SL-28 and SL-34. Gititu is one of 8 mills managed by Gititu Coffee Growers Co-operative Society. This wet mill is located at 1850 MASL.
This coffee is processed using a specific Kenya-style process. Ripe cherries are picked, delivered by famers to the washing station where they are hand sorted from green and defects, before being sent to a depulper. The coffee is then dry-fermented in tanks overnight. Its then rinsed through washing channels, where its sorted for density. The coffee is then sent to soaking tanks, where its kept underwater to ferment again for 24 - 48 hours. Its then drained, and sent to drying beds until the desired moisture content is reached.
This is a brilliant and unique profile classic Washed Kenya AA. In this coffee, we find zippy Sour Cherry, with a plush red fruit driven mid palate reminding us of youthful Beaujolais, and green floral Oolong finish. Interesting throughout the whole cup.
