Gitare AB is produced by its namesake, Gitare, a washing station established in 1954 that belongs to the Kimaratia Farmers Co-operative Society. It’s uniquely embedded within a tea-growing zone, and sources its water from the nearby River Theta.
This coffee was air-freighted by Regalia a month after harvest to preserve its peak freshness. A beautiful representation of Kenyan coffee, this washed light-roast opens up beautifully with notes of pomegranate, dark chocolate–covered fig, plum, and lychee.

Isabella U.★★★★★
The 1954 origin of the washing station gives this coffee a sense of history that I can taste in every sip. I brewed it as a pour-over and the clean, balanced cup was exactly what I needed to start my morning.

The interesting terroir gives this coffee a tea-like brightness that really surprised me — it's unlike any other Kenyan I've tried. I've been brewing it in my pour-over for a week and the flavor is consistently clean and smooth.
Olivia★★★★★
The fact that this coffee comes from a washing station established in 1954 gives it a depth of tradition you can taste in every sip, and being grown in a tea-growing zone adds a unique, subtle floral note.
Claire R.★★★★★
I love how the coffee's flavor stays bright even as it cools—something I've noticed with other single-origin beans before. It's a smooth, clean cup that works perfectly for my morning pour-over. Definitely a new favorite.
Andrew★★★★★
The cup has this bright, almost tea-like clarity that makes me want to try it black for the first time in years—really shows off that washing station’s age.
Matthew★★★★★
The fact that this coffee comes from a washing station inside a tea-growing zone really comes through in its smooth, clean finish. I've been brewing it in my French press and the flavor stays consistent from the first sip to the last.
Leo A.★★★★★
I’ve been brewing this as my afternoon pour-over and the tea-growing region influence really comes through in a delicate, almost floral finish. The beans are consistently sized and grind evenly every time.
Isabella I.★★★★★
The first thing I noticed was how bright and clean the cup is, which makes sense given it’s from a washing station in a tea-growing area. I’ve been craving that crisp, almost tea-like finish every morning now.
Madison K.★★★★★
I’ve been brewing this for a couple days now, and the fact it comes from a washing station established in 1954—right in a tea-growing zone—really comes through in its clean, bright finish. It’s such a unique taste I haven’t found in other single-origin beans.
James N.★★★★★
This coffee has a wonderfully smooth finish, which I wasn't expecting from a single-origin. The fact it comes from a washing station established in 1954 makes each cup feel like a small piece of history.
