Kamuchege

The Komothai Farmers’ Cooperative Society operates 13 wet mills (factories) across Kiambu and Lari, processing the coffee grown by its eleven thousand members across these sites. Kamuchege is the newest of these facilities and boasts a unique water system, fed by a natural lagoon formed by the Gatugu stream. They believe the combination of high altitude growing and this uncommon water source for their processing delivers a singularly complex and lively coffee. We’re inclined to agree– after all, they do say “there must be something in the water.”

Sourced from the Kiambu and Lari regions of Kenya, the Kamuchege lot represents the collaborative efforts of the Komothai Farmers’ Cooperative Society. Kenyan coffees are widely celebrated for their vibrant acidity and complex, layered profiles, often characterized by a distinct brightness that sets them apart in the global market. When evaluating such nuanced origins, utilizing a flavor wheel can be an essential tool for identifying the specific fruit and savory notes that define these high-quality harvests.

This particular offering is brought to market by Dayglow, a roaster known for highlighting the unique terroir of its selections.
