Kenyan Nyeri Kianderi
One of our favorite Kenyans returns for another year, with its consistent rich sparkling body and sweet flavor notes of sherbert and papaya. This is the sixth year in a row our sourcing partners purchased coffee from the Gathaithi factory. It also happens to be the fifth year in a row that it placed in Dormans annual top 10 coffees competition. Thats high praise! In fact, last year it took #1 overall out of thousands of lots that were cupped in Dormans labs.
Gathaithi Farmer's Co-Op's quality comes from a higher standard for the red coffee cherries delivered from approximately 1650 farmer members. After the red ripe cherries are delivered, they are hand sorted for underripe cherries before being depulped and put into a wet ferment for 16-24 hours. Next, the coffee is washed in a channel for another 12-16 hours. This process is often called double washed and is what give Kenyan coffee its clear, sparkling profile.
