Roast Style: Progressive

These tend to be lighter bodied coffees, that forefront flavour nuances inherent to the specific bean. These coffees tend to have natural sweetness and distinctive aromatic properties.

As a general guide, they'll be great brewed using any filter method. We'd recommend trying them black.

Roaster's Notes

Gathaithi AB showcases a complex and vibrant character, which shines through best when enjoyed as a filter brew. To fully unlock this Kenyan coffee’s potential, we kickstart the roast with a high charge temperature and gas setting, allowing thorough heat penetration for these large beans. A shorter roast time preserves their inherent fruitiness, contributing to a clean, balanced profile with a smooth, satisfying mouthfeel and a lingering brown sugar finish.
