The Gititu Farmers Cooperative Society celebrates the 70th anniversary of its founding next year. With more than 5,000 members and eight coffee washing stations, it is one of the most formidable in all of Kenya. Bright top notes of passionfruit are laid over mellow caramelized sugar in this sparkling lot.
This coffee embodies the idea of taste of place, with its intense tropical fruits melding beautifully with sweet and juicy stone fruits.
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
