What Olisipo Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

ORIGIN

Despite sharing a border with the ‘birthplace of coffee,’ Ethiopia, Kenya is a celebrated coffee producing country with a characteristic cup profile of its own. The first coffee plants were brought to Kenya by Scottish and French missionaries during the 19th century. In the 1930s, Scotch Labs selected strains from Mocha, in Yemen, to develop the famous SL28 and SL 34 cultivars that are characteristic of the exceptional coffees that this beautiful country has to offer. Today, coffee continues to be a mainstay of Kenya’s exports to the world and is a source of livelihood for many smallholder producers.

PRODUCER

The Gitare Washing Station is part of the Kimaratia Farmers’ Cooperative Society in Kiambu County. Benefitting from high elevations, Kiambu enjoys rich volcanic loam soils and excellent growing conditions. The majority of co-operative members farm on plots smaller than a hectare, typically with fewer than 400 bushes per producer. Yields are modest—averaging around 200 kilograms of red cherry per farmer—but the emphasis is on producing high quality coffee. Many farmers also grow avocados and macadamias, which provide shade and additional household income.

How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

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

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

A further 4 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.
