Gachika Coffee Factory is associated with Kimaratia Farmer's Co-Op, with 750 producing partners! All the coffee cherries delivered to the factory undergo the washed process with water supplied from Theta River. After pulping, the coffee rests overnight and is washed the next day. After the traditional Kenyan soaking step, the coffee is then dried on tables.

The Gachika AA from Revolver Coffee showcases what washed processing brings to Kenyan coffees: clarity and brightness. Sourced from the Gachika Coffee Factory in Kenya, this lot spotlights the SL28 varietal, a beloved cultivar prized for its complexity and citrus character. The roaster identifies grapefruit, orange, and grape—a vibrant profile reflecting both the varietal's inherent qualities and the washed method's clean expression. SL28 coffees typically offer this kind of balanced acidity and fruit-forward character, making this an accessible entry point to Kenya's distinctive cup profile.
