Some coffees become instant classics. Kenya Gachatha is one of them—a 100% peaberry lot that Clive Coffee has proudly offered for 13 consecutive years. Sourced from the Gachatha washing station in Kenya's highlands, this exceptional coffee represents the collective work of 1,100 smallholder farmers who deliver cherry to the factory during peak harvest. Case Coffee Roasters selects only the finest peaberry lots—those naturally occurring single-bean cherries that concentrate flavor—from week 12 of the out-turn, ensuring maximum sweetness and complexity in every bag.Tasting NotesGachatha bursts with juicy blood orange and ripe blackberry, delivering the candy-like sweetness that makes Kenyan coffee legendary. The acidity is bright yet rounded—present enough to lift the fruit notes without overwhelming the palate. Body is clean and silky-smooth, with a balanced finish that invites you back for another sip before you've set down your cup. This is classic Kenya: vibrant, complex, and utterly craveable.Brew MethodsThis coffee shines brightest in brewing methods that highlight its fruit-forward clarity. Pour over (Chemex, V60, Kalita Wave) reveals the layered citrus and berry notes with exceptional transparency. For espresso, Gachatha pulls sweet and juicy shots with sparkling acidity—outstanding in milk drinks or as a straight shot for those who love fruit-bomb espressos. French press brings out the body and rounds the acidity into a fuller, more approachable cup. Avoid over-extraction; this coffee rewards a lighter touch.About Case Coffee RoastersCase Coffee Roasters has built relationships directly with the Gachatha washing station, visiting the facility and meeting the farmers who make this coffee possible.
