Grown just outside Nairobi in Kiambu County, this washed lot presents a selection of peaberries, small round beans distinguished not only by their size and shape, but also by the rare coffee cherries that produce them. Unlike most coffee cherries, which contain two seeds, these cherries naturally develop only one.

Just outside the capital city of Nairobi in Kiambu County, where agricultural land is increasingly giving way to real estate development, some 1,000 smallholder growers form the Gatatha Farmers Company and continue the area's long tradition of coffee production. They cultivate prized Kenyan varieties, including SL-28 and SL-34, and deliver their daily harvest of ripe cherry to Windrush Estate for sorting and processing. This washed lot presents a selection of peaberries, small round beans distinguished not only by their size and shape, but also by the rare coffee cherries that produce them. Unlike most coffee cherries, which contain two seeds, these cherries naturally develop only one.

How To Brew

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.
