Roast Style: Progressive

These tend to be lighter bodied coffees, that forefront flavour nuances inherent to the specific bean. These coffees tend to have natural sweetness and distinctive aromatic properties.

As a general guide, they'll be great brewed using any filter method. We'd recommend trying them black.

Roaster's Notes

With its elegant acidity and pronounced sweetness, Gakundu AA reveals its finest expression through filter brewing. We begin the roast with a medium charge temperature and maintain high gas throughout the roast to ensure even heat transfer through the dense AA beans. By keeping post–first crack development short, we preserve this coffee’s juicy fruit character and crisp, clean finish - showcasing layered notes of bright citrus, cranberry, and ripe fig, with a refined, balanced structure.
