Raisins rolled in brown sugar, date pieces and dried tamarind. Consider a milder acidity for Kenyan coffee
Githiru is a coffee farmer’s cooperative and washing station in the town of Githiru, Nyeri. Called “factories” in Kenya, these processing sites are where cooperative members bring their coffee to be processed and prepared for export. The farmers who deliver coffee to Githiru are growing coffee between a range of 1350 to 1900 meters above sea level.
There are almost 900 members of Githiru, and most are growing a mixture of SL-28 and SL-34 cultivars, with small amounts of Ruiru and Batian mixed in. This coffee was purchased direct by Sweet Maria’s team, not through the Kenya auction system. To do this they pay a price that is higher than what the top auction bid might be.
