Gathaithi AA from Nyeri, Kenya, is a poised, classically Kenyan espresso with remarkable clarity: blackberry brightness, ripe mango sweetness and a delicate hibiscus lift. It’s transparent, sweet and wonderfully moreish.
What we love
As espresso, it opens with crisp, blackberry-led acidity that settles into mango-like juiciness, finishing with a tea-like, hibiscus florality. The shot stays sweet and composed as it cools, and with milk it leans towards berries-and-cream while retaining definition.
Origin
This AA selection is produced by the Gathaithi Coffee Growers Cooperative in Nyeri County, on the slopes of Mount Kenya. It comes from the main harvest (September to mid-January). Farms contributing to this lot are planted predominantly to SL28 and SL34, with smaller portions of Ruiru 11 and Batian.
SL28 and SL34 are celebrated for their cup quality, while Ruiru 11 and Batian contribute resilience. Together they deliver the vibrant acidity, black-fruit character and elegant structure that make Nyeri so distinctive.
Process and roast
Washed and carefully dried to emphasise purity of flavour, this lot shows the precision we look for in Nyeri coffees. We roast it lightly for espresso to honour the work at origin—preserving high-toned aromatics, transparent sweetness and a long, clean finish.
