Mugaya Washing Station

Description

Roasted August 3, 2026

We are welcoming back Mugaya, a washing station in Mutira, Kirinyaga, Kenya. We are excited to have coffee from Kenya back in, and Mugaya with is crisp and tropical stone fruits will certainly will set the bar high for the year.

Everyone in coffee admires coffee from Kenya. Producers on the other side of the globe wish they could produce coffee more similar to how it is in Kenya. Roasters love how even the coffee is, baristas love how consistent it extracts, and the drinker will surely remember the clarity and acidity in the cup. For many of us, a coffee from Kenya has been the first eye-opener to what coffee can taste like and still today it is nothing that resembles the coffee from Kenya. We have bought from Mugaya many years, yet it is a taste profile that feels alive and a touch different year on year. This year we find it more of yellow raisins and yellow and tropical stone fruits than the previous. Yet the juicy and dominant crisp taste profile we admire.
