What Five Elephant says about this coffee

Gondo is one of three factories managed by the New Kiriti FCS in Murang’a County, on the western slopes of the Aberdare Mountains. The region’s cool temperatures, high elevation, and deep red volcanic soils support the dense seed structure and vivid acidity that have made Murang’a one of Kenya’s most respected coffee producing areas.

The 727 contributing farmers cultivate coffee on small plots averaging around 250 trees. Cherries are selectively hand sorted before undergoing Kenya’s traditional washed process: pulping, double fermentation, extended soaking, and slow drying on raised beds. This meticulous processing style is central to the clarity and structure associated with high quality Kenyan coffees.

Compared to AA lots, AB screen coffees are often slightly smaller in bean size but can show remarkable sweetness and balance. In the cup, this lot is refined and layered, with notes of molasses, lime, and mango supported by a juicy texture and floral complexity.

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

A further 2 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.
