Producer Info 

Gura wetmill sits on the banks of the Gura River and gthers cherries from farmers on the slopes of the Aberdare Mountain Range. Nyeri Country has cool tempratures and very fertile highlands. Lying between the Eastern base of the Aberdare range, which forms part of the Eastern end of the Great Rift Valley, and the Western slopes of Mt. Kenya.

The fertile soil, seasonal rainfall and incredibly high altitude provide the coffees with a bright acidity, floral notes, and complex flavor profile, with hints of citrus, berries, and sometimes a touch of blackcurrant. It’s generally well-balanced, with a smooth finish.
