Description

Thunguri Wet Mill is part of the Kibirigwi Farmers Cooperative Society, which currently boasts over 6,800 active small-holder farmer members. Of these active members, roughly 70% are women. This lot is considered a micro-lot as the total volume of coffee that made up the lot was under 100 bags in volume. Commonly, coffee in Kenya is traceable to the local Mill where farmers deliver their cherry, this is partly due to the average farm size in Kenya being quite small, and farmers often growing other crops on their land.

Kenyan coffee is wonderfully vibrant, bright and complex and this year's harvest is really delivering, with excellent sweetness and balance in the cup.

Roaster

Marvell St Coffee Roasters

Marvell St select and roast coffees that are balanced, naturally sweet and free of defects, believing in minimal intervention, both on the farm level, and when roasting the raw green product. This philosophy leads them to buy the best quality coffee from Central and South America, West Africa as well as locally from Byron Bay. On a community level, they support businesses that operate with a shared intent to benefit the local community and environment.  

As a growing company they are conscious of their impact on the environment, and try to make as little impact as possible. They use a Loring Smart roaster designed to be extremely efficient and low emission. They hand deliver local orders in reuseable buckets saving about 250,000 coffee bags yearly from going into landfill. Their retail coffee bags are 100% recyclable and they make their shipping satchels from the materials their green beans are stored in.
