Mill - Thungari Origin - Kenya Process - Natural Varietal - SL28, SL34, Batian Altitude - 1500-2100 MASL Flavour Notes - Fruit Punch, Summer Fruits, Juicy Best for: Filter + Modern Espresso roast level: Light Farm This lot comes from the Thunguri Wetmill (or factory) which works with over 1100 smallholder farmers as part of Kibirigwi Farmers’ Cooperative Society. The mill sits near the border of Nyeri County and Kirinyaga County, on the South Western slopes of Mount Kenya and receives coffee from nearby farmers who pick their coffee and deliver it to the factory on the same day. Processing Kenya has built its global reputation on washed coffees, a processing method prized for producing the country's signature crisp acidity, clarity, and expressive fruit character. Because of this long-standing tradition, natural processing has remained largely on the fringes of the specialty coffee industry. Historically, naturally processed coffees were more commonly associated with lower-grade "Mbuni" lots than with premium quality. That perception is beginning to change. A small but growing number of producers and washing stations are investing in carefully managed natural processing, demonstrating that Kenya's exceptional coffee varieties can thrive beyond the washed profile. Coffees like Thunguri are among these rare successes, offering a distinctive expression that pairs Kenya's vibrant, structured character with the lush sweetness, ripe fruit intensity, and confectionery notes that natural processing is known for.
