Kenya Gatomboya AA

Coffee overview

Our final Kenya release of the season is this AA separation from Gatomboya factory. The cup is brimming with tart berries along with a crisp green apple note. In terms of profile, this falls between the Karani AA and Kiamwangi AB releases in terms of both profile development and classic Kenya stylings. A worthly send-off to what has been a stellar Kenya season.
