Grapefruit arrives first in this bold washed Kenyan, sharp and bright, before deepening into blackcurrant. Florals and a subtle lemongrass note follow, while a sugary, caramelised mouthfeel rounds the acidity and stays through the finish.
Produced at Githembe Coffee Factory in Kenya’s Kiambu County, this washed lot brings together coffees from members of the Thirika Farmers Co-operative Society. Grown in red volcanic soils at around 1,800 metres, the coffee is carefully processed and sun-dried on tables before being wood roasted by us in Totnes.
