Producer info and cup notes:
Founded by the Mutira FCS in 1975, Mugaya washing station provides processing and drying, technical agriculture advice and services, and regularly checks in with its 924 members to ensure the surrounding land remains healthy and vibrant. Mugaya sits at 1570masl, and farmers are encouraged to plant shade trees and grow beans, macadamia, and other crops to maintain the health of the soil. In the cup, we find an extremely high green apple and lime acidity that absolutely knocked our socks off on the initial offer sample of this coffee. Despite this loud punchy start, this coffee contains multitudes, opening up to notes of buttery chardonnay, nectarine, and kiwi.
