    Kenya, Gathaithi AA

    Sandwiched between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare ranges sits a mighty washing station that collates the cherries of 1,500+ members. We love Gaithaithi Coffee Factory for its expert production of lots that showcase the best that washed processing and Nyeri county has to offer. The size of these AA beans is testament to the region’s fecund, volcanic soils and cool rainfall, while an overnight fermentation and 7–15 day sundrying journey seals in the lot’s sugary notes of raspberry, caramel, and crisp apple. Overall, it’s a triple-variety cup you won’t be forgetting anytime soon!
