THE SPECS ROASTlight dark ACIDITYlow high Location Machakos, Central Kenya Varietal SL-28 Process Washed Altitude 1720 m.a.s.l Taste Notes: Green Apple | Blood Orange | Toffee ABOUT Our Kenya Muthuzuuni AA is a vibrant and beautifully balanced single origin, combining the bright character of Kenyan coffee with a silky body and a clean, refreshing acidity. In the cup, green apple and blood orange bring a lively, juicy freshness, while toffee adds a rich sweetness and helps round out the coffee. The result is a coffee that feels bright and expressive without being overly sharp, with a smooth texture and a lingering, balanced finish. The coffee comes from the Muthuzuuni Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS), which was established in 1979 and is home to around 1,000 smallholder farmers. The cooperative is made up of approximately 330 women and 690 men, with each farmer cultivating an average of around half a hectare. For many of these smallholder farmers, coffee is grown alongside other crops such as beans and maize, as well as dairy cattle, goats and sheep. This diverse farming system plays an important role in supporting the livelihoods of the local community, while the cooperative provides a shared structure for farmers to produce and process their coffee. The long history of the Muthuzuuni FCS reflects the established coffee-growing traditions of the region and the generations of knowledge behind these coffees. Expect a clean, vibrant and silky Kenyan coffee with bright citrus, subtle spice and a beautifully rounded finish. Freshness & Resting Our coffees are freshly roasted in small batches, but we recommend letting them rest for about 7–14 days after roasting before brewing. This short resting period allows carbon dioxide to escape and the flavours to develop fully, resulting in a smoother, more balanced cup. Freshly roasted beans can taste sharp or gassy, while rested coffee reveals its true sweetness and complexity. To get the most balanced cup out of this coffee, we recommend brewing this one with a water temperature at around 93°C. See our brew guide for more detailed instructions.
