Mutheka’s 610 members deliver to one factory on the slopes above Nyeri. The SL28 and SL34 trees give the sharp blackcurrant Kenya is known for; double washing keeps it bright.
This is the lightest roast we sell. We push hard early so the dense beans turn evenly, then ease off after first crack at 8:54. Great as pour-over, loud as espresso.
