Kenya Gatugi

Painstaking attention is paid throughout processing to ensure calibrated maturation and exposure, yielding cross-crop consistency and garnering both high acclaim and high price. When roasted light, these beans yield a brew with a soft body and bright notes of familiar blueberry toaster strudel, cream soda, and milk chocolate. Get stoked on your cup of Gatugi- not only is it delicious beyond measure, but it in turn also stokes a cooperative economy that ensures the continued practice of responsible farming and promises us beans far into the future."

This is our second year partnering with Phyllis Nganga and the Kenya Cooperative Coffee Exporters (KCCE), who have developed a new paradigm that better serves farmers by pre-negotiating a premium cherry price. This system provides farmers with the financial motivation to continue producing specialty coffees in the face of pressures to farm cheaper commodity-grade crops, or worse, sell off their rich volcanic lands for commercial development. We are excited about this partnership, and we are nothing short of *ecstatic* about the return of one of our favorite offerings- the Kenya Gatugi."
