My last trip to Kenya was back in 2014, with Andrew Kelly of Small Batch, and before then with Tim Wendelboe during my stint with him. It's the origin I had the strongest connection with, and for many years the Kenyan cup profile was my favourite. It still ranks incredibly high, and remains the origin I get most excited by – Kenyan's typically have such vibrant, exciting profiles, so it's hard not be bushy-tailed when cupping harvest.
Mugaya Factory was established in 1975 under Mutira Farmers’ Cooperative Society. Towering a 1570m above sea level, along with red-volcanic soil, the coffees from here are rich, plump and have plenty of ripe berry fruit.
