Gatugi, Kenya
Regular price £12.75Gatugi is a coffee lot produced by the Othaya Farmers Cooperative Society which consists of 18 wet mills dating back to the late 1950s. Gatugi Factory sits at just under 1900 MASL, right along the Ichamama River, which is fed from the Karima forest above.
The approximately 500 active members of the cooperative that use Gatugi as their local washing station will pool their beans for processing. The cherries are floated to remove any immature picks, then pulped, washed and dried. The coop also has a dry mill where the beans are rested in parchment for three weeks before hulling, cleaning and grading by size.
Nyeri County features cool temperatures and fertile central highlands. It lies between the eastern base of the Aberdare (Nyandarua) Range, part of the eastern end of the Great Rift Valley, and the western slopes of Mt. Kenya. The region's fertile soil, seasonal rainfall, and high altitude create an ideal climate for coffee cultivation. This environment produces coffees with high acidity, full body, and ripe fruit flavours. The cool nighttime temperatures at high altitudes guarantees that the coffee beans to develop slowly, resulting in dense, hard beans with high complexity.
