THE PRODUCER This lot is grown by 3,700 smallholder farmers organised under the Thirikwa Farmers' Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga. Every sip supports this farmer-owned cooperative's commitment to quality, sustainability, and thriving local communities.
THE PROCESS This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — cherries are hand-sorted and slowly dried to highlight the cooperative's naturally vibrant, juicy character, building the red currant and pomelo brightness that define this cup.
THE CUP Clean and juicy — red currant and pomelo brightness up front, with a deep, sweet black tea finish. A reliable, community-driven expression of Kirinyaga's classic profile.
