Description: This washed-process, AB grade coffee is from Gulmarg Estate, located in Kiambu County, in Kenya's Central Highlands. Gulmarg is a 145ha coffee farm first established by British colonists, but is now one of six estates owned and operated by Sasini, a publicly listed company with a majority Kenyan ownership. The aroma is classic Kenya, however the taste really sets it apart. It opens up with notes of sweet cherry juice and strawberry custard. Right off the bat, the mouthfeel is creamy and coating, and those sweet notes we started with get even more complex. This cup maintains the notes on the front end, and adds in some floral notes of wildflower. The body is medium, and is incredibly rich. The creaminess of it carries on through the seriously smooth finish, and is accompanied by notes of a walnut eclair, and just a touch of earthy toasted pine nuts that lingers through. This is another coffee in our rotating selection, so get it while you can! You won't be disappointed!
Shelf Life: An unopened bag will remain tasty for five months due to our processes and packaging. We remove most of the oxygen from each bag during our packaging process and replace it with food-grade nitrogen to lovingly cradle these precious beans for a long time. We use the highest quality bags with one-way valves to retain the low-oxygen environment we create and allow our coffee to off-gas naturally.
