Kenya, Nyeri County - SL28 / SL34 - 1700-1900masl
We’re tasting blackberry, demerara sugar & stewed Berries
Kenyan coffee is at the heart of Local Knowledge, with Ben crediting it as being the reason he fell in love with coffee in the beginning. We love the raw and unmistakable profile of Kenyan coffee and how true to origin it is, even in 2025. Kenya may not innovate processing like other countries but they excel in what they do and their rich history of beautiful washed coffee is translated through the coffee quality and taste. We will always fly the flag for Kenyan coffee and this Gura AA is another fantastic example of what we love so much about them.
Gura wet mill sits on the banks of the Gura River and gathers cherries from farmers on the slopes of the Aberdare Mountain Range. Nyeri Country has cool temperatures and very fertile highlands. Lying between the Eastern base of the Aberdare range, which forms part of the Eastern end of the Great Rift Valley, and the Western slopes of Mt. Kenya.
The fertile soil, seasonal rainfall and incredibly high altitude provide the coffees with a bright acidity, floral notes, and complex flavour profile, with hints of citrus, berries, and sometimes a touch of blackcurrant. It’s generally well-balanced, with a smooth finish.
