GAGA Farm, Kirinyaga, Kenya

Grown on the fertile southern slopes of Mount Kenya in the renowned coffee-producing region of Kirinyaga, GAGA Farm produces exceptional Kenyan AA-grade coffee at elevations of 1,800–2,000 metres above sea level. The region's rich volcanic soils, high altitude, and abundant rainfall create ideal growing conditions, resulting in coffees celebrated for their vibrant character, complexity, and exceptional quality.

This coffee is produced by smallholder farming traditions and carefully processed using the fully washed method. Ripe cherries are hand-sorted before pulping, followed by 12–24 hours of fermentation to remove the mucilage. The beans are then thoroughly washed, density-graded through water channels, and slowly dried on raised African beds for 10–14 days, with regular turning to ensure consistent drying.

Once dried to the desired moisture level, the parchment coffee is rested before milling and final grading, preserving the coffee's distinctive character and quality.
