Flavour notes: Winey, black currants & buttery

Gachatha is a small cooperative with only one wet mill located in Nyeri. The around 1000 members are all smallholder farmers cultivating on average around 150 coffee trees each. This means that getting our hands on this delicious coffee is not easy as the coffee produced at Gachatha has consistently been among the best coffees we have tasted in Kenya and there are plenty of buyers who want this coffee. Fortunately we managed to get our hands on a small amount this year.  The Nyeri area is famous for producing some of the best coffees in Kenya and therefore some of the best coffees in the world. The green lush environment with a climate that is always cool at night followed by warm days. This gives really good growing conditions for the coffee and paired with the old SL28 and SL34 cultivars that most of the farmers are cultivating you get an intense and fruity cup of coffee with the classic black currant flavour that is so unique for these coffees. Although a lot of farmers in Nyeri are planting the new Batian cultivars that are more resistant to leaf rust the coffee from Gachatha is still mainly made of the old SL28/34 cultivars.
