Kenya Gachatha AA

The Gachatha Cooperative Farmers Society built the Gachatha Factory in 1963, located on 391 acres between four villages in Central Kenya. There are roughly 900 active smallholder farmers, with each farmer growing about 300 coffee trees on less than one hectare of land.

The factory takes certain precautions with waste water and pollutants due to the surrounding areas being densely populated. They use soak pits for water treatment to avoid contamination with fresh water sources, while the community focuses on preserving indigenous plant life to protect local birds and animals.

This coffee represents a classic Kenya, with sugary sweetness and lots of tangy acidity, with notes of golden raisin, nectarine, burnt sugar, red grapefruit, cooked berry, and lemongrass.
