Bragðlýsingar eru alltaf leiðandi og skemmtilegast er að hver og einn finni sínar bragðlýsingar. Og þegar við smökkuðum kaffið kom upp í hugann: Sólber, rabbarbari, möndlur, miðlungs fylling, ávaxtaríkt.
Kaffisagan:
Gachatha factory was formed in 1963 and it is situated in the slopes of the Aberdare mountain range, Karundu location, Nyeri County about
150km north of Kenya’s capital Nairobi. In line with the rising awareness on the need to conserve the environment, the factory has dug the
waste water soak pits away from the water source They treat all water in soak pits to ensure no contaminates run into the local waterways,
which are a source for drinking water. The community also places great importance on protecting the indigenous trees that remain in the
area, so that the local bird life can be sustained.
Hand picked cherries are delivered to the wet mill where sorting is carried out on the same day prior to the pulping. After pulping, the coffee
is fermented overnight to break down the sugars, before it is cleaned, soaked and spread out on raised drying tables. Time on the drying
tables depends on climate, ambient temperature and total production volumes currently undergoing processing
