GLORIA GUMMERUS I WASHED

We purchased this coffee with the help of our friends at ThisSideUp. We are super excited to have a single cultivar Batian in our rotation and even more excited to have it in two different processes. This coffee was produced by Gloria who is an incredible coffee producer, but not only that they are also a fantastic agronomer in general.

The coffee is bright with beautiful florals and fruitiness, giving you the satisfying Kenyan profile we all love. This coffee is a real treat be it, espresso, pourover or batch.

The washed AA lot is a lot lighter in structure, with a tea like finish with intense florality present.

The natural however, has a heavier body with a brighter sweetness.

The farm is intercropped with macadamia trees, and “Coffee is fertilized mainly with the manure from our cows, goats, and sheep, a foliar spray is done on the farm from worm tea, which we produce ourselves from the worm castings and manure at our worm nursery. Worms are fed with pretreated cherry pulp, targeting as closed as a possible nutrient cycle within the farm. Washing water is used to irrigate forage for cows. Coffee pollination is done by wild African bees residing in beehives around the farm.”
