Context

This washed coffee from the Kimaratia Farmers Society in Kenya's Kiambu County represents the washed processing tradition common to the region's high-altitude farms. Grown between 1800–2000 masl, the lot expresses the bright, citrus-forward character typical of East African washed coffees, with Ditta Artigianale's roast pulling forward notes of mandarin, dried grape, and grapefruit zest. These tasting descriptors sit squarely in the citrus and dried-fruit range of the flavor spectrum—a profile well-suited to highlighting the clean fermentation and processing clarity that washed coffees can offer.
