Product Description

This AA separation from Gathaithi boasts dark fruits and bracing citrus notes, and the smells in the ground coffee span a wide range of clean smelling citrus to spiced grape juice. Aromatically too, a smell of ruby red grapefruit and floral sugar draws you in immediately, and the wetted grounds push a captivating concoction of juicy fruits like cranberry lemonade, and syrupy sweeteners too. What a great pour over brew Gathaithi makes, with flavors of fruit juices, mouth-cleansing acidic impression, and transparent finish. Our City roast was undoubtedly the brightest brew, giving the perception of citric tartness, a mouthfeel that helps organize the wide array of fruited notes like plump red grape, cranberry jelly, black currant, tart rhubarb, and pear juice to name a few. Light roasts brings forth a wave of citrus flavors, and a flavor mix of orange and cherry offers a refreshing aspect, along with simple syrup type sweetness. The finish from light to dark roasting (we roasted to around Full City, 34 degrees of development post first crack) shows lasting sweetness, with complex baking spices lingering in the aroma and aftertaste, along with a pleasant tannic bittering. Fruit flavors and acidity are altered by darker roast development, and we found that at Full City there was berry-like brightness, and flavors of dark grape are a bit more prevalent, along with a note of red plum, and roast bittering in the aftertaste. An easy favorite, with so much to reveal with different levels of roast. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
