gicherori aa is a washed kenyan coffee from the embu region, roasted by cast iron coffee roasters. the aa grade refers to the largest screen size used in kenyan grading, typically associated with dense, well-developed beans. washing the coffee removes the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a clean, structured cup. expect blackcurrant and red apple up front with a winey quality that adds depth and a slight fermented-fruit complexity. this kind of bright, high-acid kenyan responds well to pour-over brewing, which preserves clarity and lets the fruit character come through without muddying the winey edge.
