Onyx Coffee - Kenya Gachatha AB

Gachatha, Nyeri – Washed SL28/SL34/Ruiru 11

Gachatha returns with another standout lot from Kenya’s Nyeri region—where altitude, soil, and skill come together effortlessly. This year’s harvest is bright and expressive: think crisp citrus, structured sweetness, and a clean finish. Equally at home in filter or espresso, it’s a versatile cup with depth, clarity, and balance. The kind of coffee that reminds you why Nyeri still sets the standard.

This AB grade Kenya is sweeter than what you would expect, and has a less drying finish than perhaps other Kenyan coffees.

We recommend brewing coarser than you would normally for a filter to get the best results, as the coffee itself is slower draining.

What is the roast recency?

Onyx recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
