Gakundu
From $22.50
A very complete and delicious cup!
We taste
tamarind, tangerine, brown sugar
...in this coffee.
Gakundu is a washing station bordering Mt Kenya, 120 km to the northeast of Nairobi. Growers from the surrounding community bring their harvest to this station. Meticulous care is put into picking and processing the cherry and the results are fantastic!
Fresh off the grind the aromatics are sweet and full of dark fruits. In the cup, you’ll find notes of tamarind and tangerine, all wrapped up in a dark honey sweetness and vibrant citric acidity. Like all great coffees from Kenya, you’ll find Gakundu to be big on sweetness, flavor, and body, making for a very complete and delicious cup!









Transparency Information




We buy, roast, and sell coffee. On a surface level, this sounds simple enough. But buying coffee in a way we are proud of and in a way that those who buy our coffee are proud of is often complex, challenging, and hard work. We find ourselves on a continuum of buying and selling that progresses towards more sustainable, meaningful and equitable relationships. The chart below provides basic information for each lot on where we are on this journey.
