Across the southern slopes of Mount Kenya, the prestigious Kirinyaga district is blessed with rich volcanic soil, abundant fresh water, and elevation of 1600 to 1700 metres. Kenyan coffees are graded after harvest and the Peaberry, or PB, is a sought-after grade of small, flavourful beans.

Context
The Gakuyu-ini Peaberry, sourced from the Thirikwa Farmers Cooperative in the Kirinyaga region of Kenya, represents a meticulous approach to coffee production. This lot features a blend of SL28 & SL34 varietals, which are widely celebrated for their distinct acidity and complex profiles. Grown at elevations between 1600 and 1700 meters, these beans undergo a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and brightness of the coffee cherry.
Roasted by The Barn, this selection showcases the unique characteristics of the peaberry—a natural mutation where only one seed develops inside the coffee fruit. Because these smaller, denser beans often roast differently than standard flat beans, they require precise heat management to achieve balance. To better understand how these specific processing and varietal factors influence the final cup, we encourage you to explore our flavor wheel to identify the nuanced notes present in this Kenyan offering.
