Produced by smallholder farmers at the Gichatha-ini washing station, this coffee consists of SL28 and SL34 varieties. It undergoes a fully washed, wet processing method, including a 72-hour fermentation and up to 21 days of drying on raised beds. The cup profile is characterized by high acidity, juiciness, and high sweetness, with distinct flavor notes of blackcurrant jam, pink grapefruit, and cola bottles.
