Apollon's Gold KENYA Gititu

Sale price HK$98.00 Regular price $140.00

This was our first time buying coffee beans from Gititu, and also our first time tasting the terroir of Chiambu. During the cupping, we were thrilled and very happy to introduce Gititu to everyone.

This coffee is primarily composed of the SL28 variety, but also contains small amounts of Ruiru11 and Batian. While grown at a relatively low altitude for Kenyan coffee, this batch unexpectedly exhibits the delightful juice characteristic of top-quality Kenyan beans, along with notes of blackcurrant reminiscent of fine Pinot Noir. Furthermore, it displays surprising floral aromas, which are uncommon for low-altitude Kenyan coffee.

In the glass, we can smell the fragrance of white peach, followed by the juicy blackcurrant reminiscent of wine, and finally the floral aroma of orange blossom.

Degassing methods
We recommend degassing coffee for at least 35 days and up to 70 days. Our coffee typically reaches its peak around 45 and 60 days after roasting, and is best enjoyed between these times and 90 days.

Our full roasting method results in an unusually long degassing time, but trust us, once your coffee is properly degassed, you'll be able to enjoy its deliciousness.

*Please ensure that the coffee is not vacuum-packed or frozen during the degassing process.

About Apollon's Gold

Apollon's Gold originated in Tokyo. Since 2019, they have been continuously updating their roasting and extraction techniques based on feedback from customers, many coffee expert friends, and cooperative farms. They particularly focus on showcasing the uniqueness and diversity of coffee varieties and origins. They always pursue flavors that convey the characteristics of different origins and the individuality of the varieties. Special emphasis is placed on relationships with producers, sourcing beans directly from many of the same producers each year. In addition, they process only green coffee beans suitable for drinking according to each harvest season, thus achieving a rich and diverse range of coffee varieties in addition to the main origins.

Apollon's Gold's Caffeine is known for its unique all-purpose roast (suitable for both espresso and pour-overs). The beans are lightly roasted in appearance, but our coffee can be enjoyed whether it's pour-over or espresso, or even an AeroPress, Moka or Turkish coffee pot. At Apollon's Gold Kitanomaru, they serve the same roasted beans used to make espresso. From green bean procurement, roasting to quality control, all processes are completed at the headquarters in the city center. They only sell beans that pass strict inspection by their QC team.

The manager, Mr. Wilderness Jialong, is keen to explore the possibility of various bean flavors between light and very light roasting, giving them a rich and clean taste, which can relatively highlight the rich floral and fruity aroma.
