KENYA Gondo AA – Filter

About This Coffee

The Gondo AA is sourced from the Gondo factory, one of three managed by the New Kiriti FCS in Murang'a County, Kenya, on the western slopes of the Aberdare Mountains. Grown by 727 smallholder farmers on plots averaging 250 trees, the coffee benefits from cool temperatures and red volcanic soils. Processing follows the traditional Kenyan method: hand-sorting, two-stage fermentation, extended soaking, and slow drying on raised beds. This AA lot is layered and sweet with a rich texture, offering notes of molasses, lime, and mango.

Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

Kris and Sophie Schackman founded Five Elephant in December 2010, opening their original cafe at Reichenberger Strasse 101 in Berlin Kreuzberg while establishing a separate roasting facility on Glogauer Strasse. Head roaster Wojtek Białczak, who placed fifth at the 2019 World Barista Championship in Boston representing Germany, oversees quality on a Diedrich roaster, ensuring every batch meets exacting standards. The roastery offers espresso, filter, and omni roast profiles, with their Meridian Collection showcasing diverse terroirs and varietals from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, and the Mogiana region of São Paulo, Brazil. Every coffee is cupped after roasting for quality control and flavor profiling, a discipline that reflects their commitment to consistency across four Berlin cafe locations. Direct trade relationships built through origin travel underpin their sourcing, and wholesale distribution extends their reach to partners around the world.
