Archival Release #60Gathaithi

As we eagerly await the arrival of fresh crop Kenyan coffees, this Archival Release looks back one of our favorite Kenyan selections from the 2022 harvest: Gathaithi. Located in the center of Kenya’s central highlands, between the Mt. Kenya and Aberdare mountain ranges, the Gathaithi FCS represents around 1500 farmers and produces vibrant coffees that capture the complexity, sweetness, and vibrancy of the Nyeri profile. A blend of SL, Ruiru 11, and batian varieties, we taste deep browning sugar sweetness and cranberry-like acidity, followed by additional flavors of tropical fruit, rhubarb, and hibiscus that emerge as the coffee cools.
