Guama AA

Guama AA originates from Kirinyaga on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya at 1,620 meters above sea level. This lot comes from the Baragwi Cooperative and is developed through the work of Peter Muchiri, who focuses on building fair and transparent relationships between Kenyan producers and international roasters. The volcanic soils, temperate climate, and selective manual harvesting produce dense and complex beans. The coffee consists of SL-28, SL-34, Batian, and Ruiru-11 varieties, combining historic Kenyan varieties with more resistant ones. After harvest at optimal ripeness, cherries are depulped, fermented, and carefully washed before controlled drying. The profile features blackcurrant and cranberry notes, followed by citrus notes of mandarin that provide freshness. Molasses and chocolate add density and sweetness, creating a medium-high body with enveloping texture. With medium acidity and a score of 86, this filter-roasted coffee offers clarity, complexity, and a persistent finish.
