A very pleasant washed Kenyan, you will find a very-mild earthiness that reminds us of sundried tomato, with dominant jasmine & green tea florals, and a red grape sweetness and acidity. We rehydrate this coffee with RO water for 12 hours before roasting to both help with consistency during roasting and to bring a more rounded profile to the roasted coffee.
Gathaithi is a washing station in Nyeri County, Central Province. Gathaithi is owned by members of the Gathaithi Farmers’ Cooperative Society which has about 1650 members who grow coffee and bring it to the factory for processing. Each farmers, on average, only has about 120 coffee trees farmed on 1/2 acre of land. Gathaithi is Rainforest Alliance certified for land stewardship.
