farm
George Howell Coffee has returned to Mamuto for years, describing it as one of its reliable Kenyan anchors: floral, dark-fruited, and sweet. The farm is now run by Peter, Jason, and Patrick Mathagu, continuing the work of Walter Mathagu, whose influence helped put Kirinyaga on the specialty coffee map.
Mamuto sits on the slopes below Mt. Kenya in deep red-orange soil. This lot comes from the Mathagu family’s farm, where careful washed processing shapes the cup’s clarity. The family dries the coffee on the farm, then rests the parchment before final milling. The result is a bright, floral, fruit-forward Kenya with blackberry, plum, cherry, and violet notes.
