Bright pink grapefruit acidity leads the cup, followed by juicy blackcurrant notes and a lingering sweetness that carries through the finish. The profile is energetic yet composed, offering clarity, structure, and remarkable balance. Dynamic without being aggressive, this is a coffee that captures the elegance and intensity of Kenya's high-altitude terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoaster's Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot comes from Gachika Coffee Factory, a washing station established in 1985 and operated by members of the Kimaratia Farmers Cooperative Society in Kenya's Kiambu region. Approximately 750 smallholder farmers contribute coffee to the station, combining generations of agricultural knowledge with a shared commitment to quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated at 1,898 meters above sea level, Gachika sits within an area traditionally known for tea cultivation rather than coffee production. The cool climate, abundant rainfall, and fertile red volcanic soils create a distinctive microclimate that allows coffee cherries to mature slowly, developing greater sweetness, concentration, and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lot is produced from a combination of SL28, Batian, and Ruiru 11 varieties. While SL28 remains one of Kenya's most celebrated cultivars for its vibrant acidity and fruit character, Batian and Ruiru 11 contribute disease resistance and consistency while maintaining excellent cup quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvesting, the cherries are processed using water from the nearby Teta River. The coffee undergoes careful pulping, washing, soaking, and drying on raised African beds, where parchment is regularly turned by hand to ensure even drying and optimal quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental stewardship remains a central part of Gachika's operation. Water management systems, wastewater infiltration projects, and tree-planting initiatives help preserve biodiversity and protect the natural resources that support future generations of coffee production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Onibus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58190769455429,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/6550\/2533\/files\/JONNY-Onibus-Kenya-Gachka-1.jpg?v=1780768359","url":"https:\/\/shop.jonnyroma.com\/en\/products\/kenya-gachika","provider":"JONNY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
