Conscious Coffee – Getuya
What makes Conscious Coffee – Getuya unique?
Kenya uses a grading system for all its exportable coffee lots – based on the bean size and assumed quality (with quality often linked to size). The grade directly correlates with the price a coffee can attract. This lot is graded as an AA (which means that the beans are screen size 18 and above).
Tasting Notes:
Blackcurrant, Passion Fruit, Orange Jam
This AA lot captures everything we love about Kenyan washed coffees. At the Getuya factory — run by the Mwirua Farmers Cooperative Society — 900 smallholder producers deliver SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11 and Batian cherries from their surrounding farms. After underwater fermentation for 15–24 hours, a triple wash, and drying on raised tables, the coffee emerges intensely vivid in the cup: blackcurrant, passionfruit-like acidity, and a caramel sweetness wrapped in a syrupy body.
