Kenya Nyeri Gichathaini

This lot of Gichathaini is the AB grade selection from a wet mill in Nyeri, called Gichathaini.  The wet mill (called a "Factory" in Kenya) is one third of the Gikanga Farmer's Cooperative Society, the other two being Kangocho and Ndaroini (the name "Gikanda" is actually made up of the first letters of the three factory names: GIchathaini + KAngocho + NDAroini).  Gichathaini is a particularly outstanding cooperative in terms of quality.

Like most of the region, the farmer members of Gichathaini work very small plots of land.  Many have less than one hectare of land, and the preferred cultivars are SL-28, and SL-34 bourbon selections, known for good cup quality (especially when growing conditions are favorable).  This region has excellent elevation, starting at about 1,900 meters above sea level, and topping out over 2,000 (meaning beautifully complex flavor profiles in the cup).

Flavor Notes:  Green Apple, Cranberry Cocktail, Remarkably Complex
