Summary

Kenya Mukuyuni is a specialty coffee produced by farmers of the Mukuyuni Farmers Cooperative Society in the Machakos area of Kenya. The cooperative's 932 members grow coffee at 1,700–2,000 meters above sea level. This coffee undergoes a fully washed process: cherry sorting, skin removal, wet fermentation for 12–24 hours, thorough washing, and drying on raised beds. It offers a juicy, complex cup with notes of apple, apricot and raisin, complemented by citrus acidity. The cooperative supports organic farming techniques and provides education to its members. Recommended for filter brewing.
