The Gitwe Hill, Natural, sourced by Five Senses, represents the collective output of the Gitwe community. As a natural-processed coffee, the cherries are dried with the fruit intact, a technique that often imparts a distinct sweetness and heavier mouthfeel compared to washed counterparts. You can learn more about how these processing methods influence the final cup profile in our technical guide.
