We’re excited to offer Kathunguri, an exquisite Kenyan coffee with a big, syrupy body, notes of dark fruit and cranberry and bright acidity. Kathunguri is a coffee produced by Mathew and Charity Mugo, who operate a coffee farm started by Mathew’s father in 1963 in Kirinyaga, Kenya. This coffee, which comes to us from Madcap Coffee Company, in unique in that it’s sourced directly from a single producer. In Kenya it is common for small farms to belong to a cooperative system that processes the coffee and sells it under one banner. At his farm, Mathew mills and processes his coffee before exporting it, and works directly with purchasers. This level of control and transparency is rare within Kenya.
