Kenya Gachatha AA
Kenya Gachatha AA
GRAPEFRUIT · RAW SUGAR · DRIED CRANBERRIES
Kenya Gachatha AA is a single origin coffee selected for its vibrancy, structure, and unmistakable Kenyan profile. Sourced from Nyeri in Kenya’s central highlands, this coffee reflects the precision and consistency the region is known for.
Gachatha is graded AA, the highest and most celebrated Kenyan grade, indicating larger bean size and careful sorting. The coffee is fully washed, a process that emphasizes clarity and brightness while preserving sweetness. Grown at high elevations and produced by smallholder farmers, this lot showcases the balance between intensity and refinement that Kenyan coffees are known for.
In the cup, Kenya Gachatha AA is bright and expressive. Expect a citrus-forward profile led by grapefruit, followed by sweetness reminiscent of raw sugar and a tart, fruit-driven finish with notes of dried cranberries. The body is light and clean, while the acidity is lively and refreshing rather than sharp. The structure keeps the cup focused and energetic from start to finish.
Kenya Gachatha AA’s role is to deliver a classic, high-energy coffee experience. It’s well suited for pour-over and batch brew, where its brightness and clarity shine, and also works well in an AeroPress for a more concentrated, lively cup. This is a coffee for drinkers who enjoy precision, brightness, and definition.

COFFEE ORIGIN
Kenya
Kenya's coffee industry revolves around a transparent weekly auction system established in the 1930s. This system rewards quality with better prices, making it a benchmark for global coffee auctions. New legislations in 2006 and 2018 enabled farmers to sell directly to international buyers, providing more opportunities. Smallholder farmers, organized into cooperative societies, dominate production, ensuring over 70% of the country's coffee output. Most Kenyan coffee is fully washed and dried on raised beds, maintaining its reputation for high quality. With attention to detail and stringent sorting practices, Kenyan coffee offers drinkers exceptional flavor and consistency.
