Kenya, Githembe

Roaster notes

This AA-grade washed coffee comes from Githembe factory of Thiririka Farmers Cooperative Society in Kiambu County, Kenya, where 1500 smallholder farmers grow SL 28, SL 34, and Baitan varieties at 1600-1800 meters altitude. The cup delivers vibrant tart acidity with notes of gooseberry, green apple, and blackcurrant, complemented by a sweet floral aftertaste—a classic example of expertly grown Kenyan coffee.
