肯亞的水洗咖啡,風味獨步全球。超過 70 萬名小農各自耕種一兩公頃土地,將咖啡櫻桃送至合作社經營的處理廠。由於農民可自由選擇要將果實送往哪家水洗廠,各家處理廠無不在品質上精益求精:一杯更好的咖啡,意味著拍賣價格更高,農民的回饋也更豐厚。

Githembe 是 Thiririka 農民合作社旗下三座處理廠之一,另外兩座分別是 Kiganjo 與 Ndundu。約 1,500 名活躍會員在黏質壤土中種植 SL28、SL34 與 Batian 品種,並於 10 月至 12 月間進行採收。咖啡櫻桃在 Githembe 完成去皮與水洗後,帶殼豆會送往 Kiganjo 進行慢速乾燥。

這批咖啡豆被評為 AA 級,是肯亞分級中最大且最受推崇的等級,也是此類風格的經典之作:充滿活力的酸質,伴隨著銳利的酸度與甜美的糖感尾韻。

Jacob V. ★★★★★

Brewed a cup this morning and the wet fermentation really shows—the cup is clean and bright, exactly what I hoped for from a Kiambu County lot. The SL28 and Batian blend gives it a nice balance that holds up even as it cools.

Edward X. ★★★★★

The altitude and the SL28/SL34 mix give this a brightness that’s genuinely clean, no harsh edges at all. I brewed it as a pour-over and the washed process really lets that juicy, tea-like quality shine. Whole bag’s gone in a week, so that says enough.

Lily H. ★★★★★

The wet fermentation really comes through in the cup—it’s clean and bright without any harsh edges. I brewed a batch from the 1600-meter altitude beans and the balance was spot-on for a daily pour-over.
