What Roasticious says about this coffee

Origin

The Rutuma Cooperative Society operates several factories along the southern slopes of Mount Kenya, with Ruthagati being one of them. Smallholder farmers delivering ripe cherries to Ruthagati typically grow SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11. The region’s volcanic soils are rich in nutrients, supporting slow, high‑quality cherry development and contributing to the cup’s layered, juicy complexity.

During harvest, farmers bring ripe cherries to the factory, where the team sorts them and removes skin and pulp using a traditional depulper. The parchment then undergoes overnight fermentation before being washed with fresh water from the Keremia stream. Finally, the coffee dries on raised beds under the sun, with continuous sorting and rotation to ensure even drying. The resulting cup is densely sweet, complex, and sparkly.

What Does AA Mean?

Bean Size: AA refers to the largest screen size in Kenya’s grading system, typically 7.2 to 7.8 mm in diameter (screen size 17/18).

How it sits among coffee from Kenya

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Kenya: 509 of 1,189 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Roasticious describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Kenya; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Kenya, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

“Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scoring is a system for evaluating the quality of green coffee beans.” their page (opens in a new tab)

These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.

Where each fact came from

A further 6 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
