An AA Kenyan from Ibutiti Estate. A very bright and juicy cup with plenty of blackberry, rhubarb and blackcurrant notes.
Nestled in the Kiria-ini sublocation of Gatanga, Murang’a County, Kenya, the estate is overseen by Mercy Wambui Gatuhi. Founded in 1978 by William Gatuhi Murathe, the farm prospers at an altitude of 1,750 to 1,800 meters, nurtured by fertile, deep red volcanic soils rich in organic content. The estate is dedicated to cultivating the Ruiru 11 coffee variety. During harvest, the estate engages up to 400 local workers to meticulously hand-pick cherries at their peak maturity. These cherries are transported to the wet mill, where they are carefully sorted on a patio. Following sorting, they pass through a pulping machine that uses fresh water to remove the outer fruit layer. The beans then undergo overnight fermentation, are thoroughly washed, and are graded by density. To complete the process, the beans are sun-dried on raised beds under close monitoring until they reach the ideal moisture content.

Dak Coffee Roasters was founded by Louis-Philippe Boucher & Veronique Lagarde in 2019. Originally from Montreal, Canada, the duo roamed around Europe for more than 8 years before settling in Amsterdam where they founded the roastery. Dak means “roof” in Danish, and it was a moment in 2019 when Louis-Philippe was sitting on the roof of his home, drinking coffee when he decided to start his own roastery. Dak now consists of a small team of six
“Coffee has always been part of our lives, although our love for specialty coffee has grown exponentially in the past few years. After working many years respectively in Finance & Marketing, we decided to pursue our dream, opening a coffee roastery. Dak was born from true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discoveries.
“We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and of course that are 100% fully traceable. We partner with importers that share our values and we roast each one of our coffees carefully to bring the best flavours they have to offer.”
—Louis-Philippe & Veronique
