The Story Behind the Cup
This November, we’re proud to showcase a vibrant AA Grade microlot from Kenya’s famed Kirinyaga region. Grown on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya, the Mutitu Factory works with over 1,200 smallholder farmers, each cultivating coffee on small plots enriched with volcanic soil and steady rainfall. Together, they’ve produced a coffee that represents the best of Kenyan terroir: fruit-driven, complex, and brilliantly clean.
This washed process lot features SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11 varietals - carefully handpicked, double fermented, and soaked to enhance acidity and clarity. In the cup, you’ll taste jammy currant, mild dried apple, and clean caramel sweetness, rounded out by dark chocolate and a juicy acidity. It’s a refined, high-quality cup that showcases the elegance and precision of Kenyan coffee at its best.
