Roughly 160km north of Kenya's capital, the hands of 1,656 Gathaithi farmers make light work of specialty coffee production, often with delicious results. The proof lies in this quadruple-variety lot, quintessentially Nyeri and washed to perfection. After hand-harvesting and sorting, cherries were delivered to the Gathaithi washing station, where they were pulped, fermented overnight, cleaned, soaked, and dried on raised tables for 15 days. The result is a coffee with striking notes of pineapple, green grape, and orange twist.
