This Kenyan coffee is grown in Nyeri County at elevations exceeding 1,700 meters. It is produced by the Gathaithi Farmers Co-op, which represents approximately 1,250 smallholder farmers. The cup profile features sweet, syrupy flavors reminiscent of rhubarb pie, fresh blueberries, and hard caramel candy, balanced by a crisp apple acidity.
Case Coffee Roasters was founded in 2006 by Kati and Tim Case in Ashland, Oregon. The team roasts on a Diedrich IR 7 with a focus on light to medium profiles, using compostable packaging throughout. Sourcing follows a direct trade and relationship based model with an emphasis on sustainability, and USDA Organic certified coffees feature in the range. The café on Fourth Street serves espresso, pour over, and pastries from local bakeries, and the business supports nonprofits and arts organisations in the Ashland community through regular partnerships.
