Brew Guide

Getuya PB

Our first coffee from the Getuya Coffee Factory in Kenya is a rare Peaberry Microlot produced by the Mwirua Farmers Cooperative Society. In particular, the nutrient-rich soils in the region and the washed processing of this green coffee influence the taste of this amazing Arabica coffee, which is guaranteed to sweeten your day. The filter coffee roast develops intense notes of blackberries, juicy grapefruit and rich caramel in the cup – a pleasantly berry-sweet coffee with a complex, fruity flavor profile. Fans of washed coffees from Kenya will especially love Getuya as a handbrew.

PEABERRY COFFEE

Normally, the coffee cherry consists of two coffee beans. However, due to a rare mutation, it sometimes happens that only one bean ripens in the cherry. These peaberry beans look somewhat rounder as they have more space to grow individually. Peaberries are often said to taste more intense than normal beans, but this has not yet been proven by studies. It is clear that a number of factors such as cultivation and harvesting, climatic conditions and roasting also contribute to the flavor of peaberry beans.

Kenya Qualities

Coffees from Kenya are not only very popular with us. They are known for their fine acidity and high flavor intensity, which results in a particularly clean cup. This means that the coffee is free from defects and does not contain any unwanted aromas.

The abbreviation “PB” stands for the quality of the green coffee. Almost every country has its own system for qualifying coffee beans. In East Africa, the following classes are distinguished: AA, AB, A, B, C and PB (the small peaberry beans). Size, shape and the proportion of defective beans are assessed. AA stands for the highest class and quality, PB has a separate status.

Sustainable cultivation and quality awareness

As with wine, the origin, cultivation and careful harvesting of coffee form the basis for a specialty coffee. We only use ripe and hand-picked 100% Arabica coffee beans for our coffees, as the laborious harvesting by hand is an essential quality criterion. Our highland coffees are natural products and are grown in shady forest gardens in an environmentally friendly way. This preserves the biodiversity of the growing region. The coffee cherries can ripen slowly at cool altitudes with nutritious and fertile soil conditions. Under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator, the coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas.

Freshly roasted by hand

All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin so that the natural aromas can fully develop without any unwanted acidity. To achieve a pronounced body and a versatile taste profile in the cup, we want to emphasize and optimally process the special features of the respective variety, farm and origin of the coffee with our roasting. The aim is therefore to exploit the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting method in order to emphasize the valuable work of the producers in the countries where the coffee is grown. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
