Representative of our favorite washed Kenyan coffees, Gikirima AA is super clean, brimming with bright fruit and citrus, floral and complex. Light body, clean and structured. Perfect for guzzling, but slow down and enjoy this cup as it cools. Highly recommended as a filter coffee. Clean AA Kenyans like the Gikirima do well to age out 14+ days for optimal enjoyment. 100% recommend. -Kevin
