These coffee beans from Cheltenham coffee roaster Ritual pack a big punch of classic Kenyan coffee flavour: deep and syrupy blackcurrant body with cranberry sharpness and a clean Assam tea finish.

This lot underwent washed processing at the Gichuka Coffee Factory, one of three wet mills operated by  Kimaratia Farmers Cooperative Society. Around 2200 farmers deliver coffee cherry to these stations, all of which are dedicated to producing vibrantly expressive coffees that truly showcase the local terroir. 

Once farmers have delivered coffee to their nearest mill, it is pulped to remove all fruit from the seed and soaked overnight (fully washed) in cement tanks to really clean the mucilage off the seed, giving extra clarity to the final cup. The coffee is cleaned once more in water channels then laid out on raised beds to dry in the sun.
