What Solberg & Hansen says about this coffee
Tasting notes: Fruity and juicy. Blackcurrant, sweet spices, caramel.
The Gatugi washing station, in the renowned Nyeri coffee region, receives coffee berries from nearby coffee farms and refines coffee with a classic Kenyan flavor profile with fruity notes of blackcurrant.
Gatugi was built in 1979 near the village of the same name and is located between Aberdare and Mount Kenya at an altitude of 1863 meters above sea level. On these slopes, the coffee trees grow in rich, red, volcanic soil, often without shade trees. Coffee from this area is highly sought after and offers fresh and complex flavors of dark berries, especially blackcurrant.
Gatugi collects coffee berries from local coffee farmers who are affiliated with the washing station. When the bags of coffee berries are delivered, the berries are hand-sorted with strict requirements for size, weight and quality, before being processed. The high quality of everything they do at the washing station is the key to Gatugi’s success in bringing out the unique and berry-fresh flavors that the best Kenyan coffee batches have become so sought after.

What the roaster says about where it came from
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.
How it sits among coffee from Kenya
Solberg & Hansen describe this coffee as caramel and sweet, spice. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Kenya; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
spice is unusual here — 6% of coffee from Kenya are described that way.

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.
