gichathaini is a washed kenyan coffee from nyeri, roasted by cortinovis specialty coffee roasters in milan. nyeri sits on the slopes of mount kenya, a region known for producing bright, distinctly fruited coffees, and the washed process here reinforces clarity and clean acidity. in the cup expect blueberry alongside a savory tomato note, an unusual pairing that makes this a coffee worth paying attention to. it suits filter brewing, where those contrasting flavors can open up without the muddying effect of pressure, so pour-over or batch filter are good starting points. grind medium-fine and use water around 92-94c.
