Degassing notice
We recommend degassing this coffee for at least 35 days, up to 70. Our coffees often peak around 45 days and 60 days post-roast and are best enjoyed from then until the 90 day mark.
Our omniroast style leads to abnormally long degassing times, but just trust us, once your coffee is degassed properly, you're in for a treat.
*Please make sure not to vacuum or freeze the coffees while it's degassed enough.

Last time we purchased from Gikirima was in 2017, so it's been awhile! Gikirima has always produced high quality Kenyans from the Nyeri region, which is our favorite terroir within Kenya, not to mention their relatively high altitude of 1800masl.
Similarly to Gititu, this coffee reminds us of the great Kenyans which we've enjoyed in the past, but with a uniqueness that we love.
In the cup we find a fresh blueberry followed by sweet, clean, juicy tangerine, and a perfumed cantaloupe in the finish.
