The exciting new Kenya from Giakanja Factory flourishes with floral and honey on the nose with just a hint of cocoa, succeeding into the cup with a bright clean citrus, green apple acidity and creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of ruby red grapefruit, green apples, and hints of cherry fruit loom, creating a sweet finish and lingering aftertaste that leaves a smile on your face.
In the Nyeri District surround by shaded trees of grevillea, macadamia and eucalyptus at the altitude of 1750 meters, an average of 6,405,211 pounds of cherries are harvested yearly. Giakanja factory is affiliated with Giakanja Farmers Co-op Society with over 1,300 members. Members of the co-op are given advance school fees and training, especially factory managers who attend a management course for two weeks.
Ken Davids from CoffeeReview.com assessed this Kenya as a "strikingly distinctive profile: lavender-like flowers, crisp baker’s chocolate, strawberry-like fruit, richly pungent cedar. Crisply balanced acidity; silky, buoyantly lively mouthfeel. Rich, lavender-toned chocolate in the finish." Rating Giakanja 94 points. A balanced and complete medium-roasted cup, yet remarkable in its aromatic details. A Kenya you must try.
