Kenya - Nyeri, Gitutu

Washed SL-28 & SL-34

Gititu Factory is part of Aghuti Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS), an FCS that includes a few other stations we buy from: Thageini and Kagumo. It's not the "factory" as we might imagine it. "Factories" are essentially small washing stations aligned with a particular "society" in Kenya, what we would call a "cooperative". We return to the societies who seem to regularly produce some of the best Kenya coffees, and each year we come across societies that are new to us as well, such as Aghuti. This is the AB grade, which refers to the size of the coffee beans that are included. Coffee plants produce a range of bean sizes, from super tiny to quite large, and separating by size helps facilitate a much more uniform roasting experience. In Kenya, the most common top grades are AA, AB, and Peaberry. AA's are the largest and most expensive, whereas AB are only slightly smaller, and often of the same cup caliber as the AA. We found this AB outturn to be a good representation of the unique flavors produced at the Gititu wet mill.

Medium Roast, recommended for espresso, milk beverages and pour overs / drip.

This is a well-rounded, lively coffee — with balanced caffeine for a smooth lift and moderate chlorogenic acids that bring gentle brightness. It’s versatile, steady, and easy to enjoy any time of day.


Storage

Coffee is alive with aroma and character — keep it that way. Store it sealed, cool, and dry so every brew tastes just as good as the first.

Caffeine and Clorogenic Acids

Caffeine content 56.72mg per 100 ml

Chlorogenic acids content 65.29mg per 100ml

We believe great coffee isn’t just about taste — it’s about knowing what’s in your cup. That’s why we share the levels of caffeine and chlorogenic acids in every roast. Caffeine brings the buzz, chlorogenic acids bring the character — together, they shape your coffee’s energy, flavor, and feel. It’s our way of keeping things honest, transparent, and deliciously informed.

Brew Steps

Target Outcome

Flavor: Balanced sweetness and acidity, clean cup, round mouthfeel.

Pro Notes

Agitation: A gentle swirl after the bloom helps degas evenly and improve extraction. Avoid stirring during later pours to maintain clarity.

Grind: If brew time exceeds 3:30, grind coarser; if it’s under 2:45, grind finer.

Serving Tip: Let the coffee rest for 2–3 minutes before tasting — the flavor structure opens as temperature drops.

Bloom

Pour 60g of water (≈3x the weight of coffee) evenly over the grounds.
Allow to bloom for 30 seconds, gently swirling to ensure all coffee is saturated.

First Pour

At 0:30, pour up to 120g total. Use a slow, controlled spiral in the center, avoiding the edges (all coffee grounds should be wet)
Pouring should take ~10 seconds.

Second Pour

At 1:00, pour up to 180g total (another 60g).
Maintain gentle agitation and a consistent flow.

Third Pour

At 1:30, pour up to 240g total.
Keep the bed even — you’re maintaining drawdown rhythm here.

Final Pour

At 2:00, pour up to 320g total.
This pour should finish around 2:10–2:15. Allow the brew to draw down completely (finish by ~3:00 / 3:15).

About Our Coffee

Is your coffee mold-free?

Yes — all of our coffees are free from mold and meet strict quality standards. Mold and ochratoxin A (OTA) can develop in poorly processed or stored coffees, but we take every step to prevent that from happening. Before purchasing any coffee, we evaluate water activity and moisture content to ensure it’s within safe and stable parameters. Once it arrives at our warehouse, we monitor relative humidity and storage conditions carefully to maintain the integrity of each lot.
From sourcing to roasting, our focus is on quality and freshness — so you can enjoy every cup with confidence.

Where do your coffees come from?

From dedicated farmers across the world’s most expressive regions — each coffee reflects its origin, soil, and the people behind it.

How do you choose the farms you work with?

We partner with producers who share our values: respect for their land, transparency, and craft. Every coffee has a story, not just a score.

Are your coffees organic or sustainable?

Some are certified organic, although we are not an organic certified roastery. However, all our coffees are sustainably grown. We prioritize farms that care for soil health and community impact.

Do you roast to order?

Yes — always. We roast in small batches so your coffee arrives fresh and vibrant every time.

Brewing & Storage

What’s the best way to store my coffee?

Keep it sealed, cool, and dry — away from heat, moisture, and light. An airtight container keeps freshness alive.

How long does coffee stay fresh?

Enjoy within 4–6 weeks of roasting for peak flavor. After that, it’s still great, just a little softer on aroma.

What grind size should I use?

Fine for espresso, medium for drip or pour-over, coarse for French press or cold brew. The right grind brings balance and sweetness.

 Can I use your coffee for espresso or cold brew?

Absolutely — our coffees are crafted to shine in any brew method.

Ordering & Shipping

When will my order ship?

Usually within 1–2 business days after roasting. You’ll get tracking once it’s shipped.

Do you offer subscriptions?

Yes! Subscribe for regular deliveries of your favorite coffee — freshly roasted and hassle-free.

Can I return or exchange my coffee?

Because coffee is a perishable product, we can’t accept returns once bags are opened. But if something isn’t right, please reach out — we’ll make it right.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by country.

Wholesale & Partnerships

How can I become a wholesale partner?

Do you offer training for wholesale clients?

Yes. We provide guidance, education, and support to help your team brew and serve coffee beautifully.

About Us

Who’s behind Coffee Flock?

Husband and wife team Dylan Thome and María Esther López-Thome — coffee educators, roasters, and lifelong students of flavor.

What does “Coffee Flock” mean?

It’s about community — people connected through coffee, moving and growing together.

What makes your coffee different?

Intentional sourcing, honest roasting, and meaningful relationships — quality with purpose.

Do you offer tours or cuppings?

Yes! We host tastings and events regularly. Follow us for dates and details.

About Our Tea

What kinds of tea does Coffee Flock offer?

We offer a curated selection of loose-leaf and bagged teas — from classic black and green teas to herbal and botanical blends. Each one is chosen for balance, clarity, and character.

What’s the difference between black, green, and herbal teas?

All true teas come from the same plant — Camellia sinensis. The difference lies in how the leaves are processed:
Black tea is fully oxidized for a rich, bold flavor.
Green tea is lightly processed to keep its fresh, grassy notes.
Herbal tea (technically a “tisane”) is made from herbs, flowers, or fruits — naturally caffeine-free.

Do your teas contain caffeine?

Yes, most black and green teas naturally contain caffeine. Herbal blends/Botanicals are caffeine-free.

How should I brew my tea for the best flavor?

Use fresh, hot water and steep according to the tea type:

  • Black tea: 3–5 min at ~95 °C
  • Green tea: 2–3 min at ~80 °C
  • Herbal tea: 5–7 min at ~100 °C
  • Adjust to taste — shorter steeps for lighter cups, longer for more strength.
How should I store my tea?

Keep tea in a cool, dry place, away from light, air, and strong odors. Airtight containers preserve freshness and aroma longer.

What’s the shelf life of tea?

Properly stored tea can last a long time. Green teas are best enjoyed within a year, while black and herbal teas can stay vibrant for up to two years.

Can I drink your teas cold or iced?

Absolutely. Our teas brew beautifully over ice or as cold infusions. Just double the leaf amount or steep longer to keep flavor balanced.

About Our Bean-to-Bar Chocolate

What does “bean-to-bar” mean?

Bean-to-bar is chocolate made by small, independent makers who handle the process from the cacao bean all the way to the finished bar. It’s a craft approach that celebrates quality, flavor, and individuality.

Do you make the chocolate yourselves?

No — we don’t roast or process cacao. At Coffee Flock, we curate and resell the best bean-to-bar chocolates from producers we genuinely admire for their craftsmanship and transparency.

How do you choose the brands you feature?

We select makers who focus on exceptional flavor, consistency, and care in every step of their process. Each bar we carry is chosen for its distinct character and quality — the kind of chocolate we truly love to share.

What makes bean-to-bar chocolate different from regular chocolate?

It’s about attention and intention. Bean-to-bar chocolate is made in smaller batches, with more control over the ingredients and flavor — resulting in chocolate that actually tells a story.

How should I store my chocolate?

Keep it in a cool, dry place (around 16–20 °C), away from sunlight and strong odors. No fridge needed — just somewhere calm and dry.

Does it pair well with coffee?

Absolutely. The deeper notes in our coffees complement the natural flavors of bean-to-bar chocolate — try pairing them to discover new layers of taste.

What tea goes best with dark chocolate?

Try a robust black tea like Assam or Yunnan, which match dark chocolate’s depth and richness. For something softer, a toasty oolong or smoky lapsang souchong balances the bitterness beautifully.
