ABOUT THIS COFFEE

Gakuyu-Ini is bright, juicy, and as crisp as they come. It’s everything we know and love about a Kenyan coffee.

Roasted for filter, it opens with blackcurrant and grapefruit, backed by candy-like lemon. The body is light, giving way to a clean, silky finish with lingering sweetness and a delicate citrus lift.

This lot comes from Gakuyu-Ini Coffee Factory in Kirinyaga County, where hundreds of smallholder farmers deliver freshly picked cherries for processing. Established in 1982, the factory supports growers with less than a hectare of coffee each. Careful cultivation, wet processing, and meticulous drying help showcase the vibrant character that has made coffees from this region so sought after.

Gakuyu-Ini is the kind of coffee you’ll often find yourself pouring another mug.
