Washed process
The Gachatha Farmers’ Cooperative Society, located in Kenya’s Nyeri region, has about 900 active members, most of whom have small farms consisting of about 300 coffee trees (less than 1 ha). In addition to coffee, many of these farmers grow food crops to support their families’ livelihoods. This washing station takes extra precautions in waste water management and initiatives to support local flora and fauna, in part due to their location in a densely populated area.
This coffee is a microlot composed of four coffee varietals: Batian, SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11. Farmer members of the cooperative deliver fresh-picked, ripe coffee cherries to the factory, where they are depulped the same day and left to ferment in open-air tanks for 1-2 days. The beans are then washed thoroughly and left to soak again in clean water before being spread out to dry on raised mesh beds.
Tastes like: black currant + cocoa butter + clean & fruity
