Tasting notes

Cranberry, Caramel + Tangerine

Brewing

We suggest using this coffee for filter brew methods, such as a pourover, aeropress, chemex or batch brew (or similar). It's roasted a bit lighter to accentuate the delicious fruitiness and acidity that we love.

Growth Story

Gitutu is one of four factories operated by the Aguthi Farmers Cooperative Society, and is located in a highly productive growing area that is bordered by Mt. Kenya in the west and the Abadare Ranges to the east. The F.C.S. has seven elected committee members to represent its 4,000 total membership. The committee and about 60 permanent factory staff oversee day-to-day operations with regards to receipt of cherry, payment, and processing. About 800 farmers from Aguthi F.C.S. deliver to this factory, and they own on average about 300 coffee trees each.
