Summary

This AA lot from Gititu Factory in Kiambu, Kenya, is a washed coffee grown by smallholder farmers at 1600-1700 meters on the Aberdare Range. Varieties include SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian. Processed with meticulous fermentation and slow drying, it offers bright, refined flavors of rhubarb, pink grapefruit, and sparkling lemonade, with a gentle black tea aroma and soft berry sweetness.
