the kenya gicherori aa is a washed single-origin coffee from the embu region of kenya, roasted by clifton coffee roasters. the aa grade refers to the largest screen size, typically associated with denser, more developed beans. washed processing strips the fruit before drying, which tends to produce clean, clearly defined flavour. in the cup expect blackcurrant acidity, a winey body, and a dry, tea-like finish reminiscent of black tea. it suits filter brewing methods that let the acidity and clarity come forward, such as pour-over or chemex. use water around 93 degrees and a medium-fine grind to keep the brightness in check without losing structure.
