This is the number three Kenyan coffee of the year for us. It is a lot that we had purchased well before it got on the boat from Kenya to us, we loved it so much that we just had to have it, alongside our more regular Kenyan coffee releases (Kii and Kieni). It is an AA from a very well-known mill in Kirinyaga. Gakuyu-ini has strict quality measures and delivers some of the best coffee we have tasted.
