Fresh season Kenya has arrived!
Gakuyu-ini is located in Kirinyaga, on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. The region is blessed with ideal coffee growing conditions and fertile, volcanic soil. Around 1600 farmers form the Thirikwa Farmers Cooperative – they pick ripe cherries at an elevation of 1600-1700 meters above sea level.

The cup profile has strong notes of blackcurrant leaf, violet, plum and a lively acidity. A juicy mouthfeel is coupled with deep complexity that shines in the cooling.
