Kenya Wachuri

This coffee almost sparkles with notes of tangerine, ripe guava and florals. What makes it so exceptional is the effervescent quality that really dances on the tongue, finishing with a lovely mandarin orange acidity. 

 

Coffee Details

This is our first year working with the Wachuri Farmer's Society, a factory started in 1967 under the Tetu Coffee Growers Cooperative. It became a society and single factory in the year 2000, after the split of Tetu Cooperative. The 937 active members of the Wachuri Farmers’ Cooperative Society Limited farm their coffee on just under 0.24 acres in Nyeri County, Kenya. The Wachuri Factory wet-mills its members' coffees, with incredible attention to detail and quality. Sweet, complex and delicate, this is an excellent coffee for all filter methods.
