the kenya gititu aa from ilse coffee is a sl-28 varietal processed using the honey method, which leaves some of the fruit mucilage on the bean during drying. this gives it a sweeter, more textured cup than a fully washed kenyan, with the hibiscus florals typical of sl-28 sitting alongside honey and honeycomb sweetness. because the honey process adds body and fruit-forward richness, it rewards a brew method that highlights sweetness and clarity, such as a filter or pour over. keep your water temperature moderate and avoid over-extraction to let the floral and honeyed qualities come through cleanly.
