    Roaster’s Notes
    The Gathaithi AA was our highest scoring Kenyan arrival this year. It has boisterous amounts of red, popping, high acidity fruits. The sweetness reminds us of cane sugar and sugary sweet fruit punch juice. The acidity also leans on the sweet side like fresh lemon curd and cranberry cocktail. This coffee ranks among the top fest best Kenyans we've carried at Kuma over the past 11 years of roasting. We think you'll be pleased as punch with this one.
