Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
We take no commission and no payment for placement.

Processing Protocol
Gititu adheres to Kenya’s traditional fully washed processing protocol, which is a critical contributor to the cup clarity and flavor complexity of its coffees: 1. Cherry Intake & Sorting: Farmers deliver only ripe, hand-picked cherries to the factory. 2. Pulping: Cherries are mechanically pulped using disc pulpers. 3. Fermentation: Mucilage is broken down through overnight fermentation (12–24 hours depending on ambient temperatures). 4. Washing & Grading: Beans are washed in clean spring water and sorted by density. 5. Drying: Parchment is sun-dried on raised beds for 12–21 days depending on weather. 6. Storage & Milling: Once dried to ~11.5% moisture, parchment is stored in cooperative warehouses before being milled to green bean form for export.

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.

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.
