Kenia Gicherori Aa

Summary

A Kenyan coffee from the Gicherori Factory, part of the Kibugu Farmers Cooperative Society with over 1,200 active members. Grown in the green hills of Embu at 1,600-1,800 meters above sea level. Processed using traditional Kenyan methods: dry fermentation, careful washing, and drying on raised African beds. The cup opens with caramel, blackcurrant, and a hint of dried tomatoes on the nose, followed by a fresh mix of grapefruit, green tea, and herbs on the palate, finishing with lemon juice, ginger biscuit, and cacao nibs. Varieties include SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru11. Optimized for modern espresso preparation.
