GETUYA AA - KENYA

The last of 2024's Kenyan harvest, we were really taken by this beautifully complex cup from the Getuya Coffee Factory in Kirinyaga, to the south of Mount Kenya.

Operated by the Mwirua Farmers Cooperative Society (F.C.S.), and founded in 1964, there are 900 contributing producers who deliver cherry to the factory from their small (1/5 of a hectare) farmland within the area.

After the coffee is delivered and sorted, it is immediately depulped, fermented underwater for 15–24 hours, and washed three times before being spread on metal drying tables, taking around 6-7 days.

On cupping our most recent roast, Andy was enjoying a whole host of muscovado sugar flavours, some richer, dark fruits as well, with Shannon picking up on some lovely Vanilla & Blackcurrant notes too. It's complex and delicious and we're enjoying brewing as filter but also immersion brews too.
