Gichatha-ini is a factory, the site of a coffee mill, and is one third of the Gikanda Farmer's Cooperative Society. The other two factories are Kangocho and Ndaro-ini. The name Gikanda is made up of the three factory names: GIchathaini + KAngocho + NDAor-ini. They have been an outstanding cooperative for years, and we offered another great lot from them, in that case the AA from Kangocho factory. This coffee was not bought through the Kenya auction, but rather, in a direct deal with the cooperative that benefits them to a far greater extent. This is called the "second harvest" buying window. It means the price is a bit higher, but they always are from cooperatives like this, for whom many coffee roasters worldwide compete to obtain the best lots. It's also a really exquisite coffee!
