Farm: Kamavindi Estate Producer: Peter Mbature Region: Embu, Kenya Varietal: Mixed Varietals (AA) Processing: WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. This season marks the first time our partner farmer, Peter, has separated the harvest into a pure selection of SL28SL28A Kenyan variety selected in the 1930s by Scott Agricultural Laboratories, prized for intense blackcurrant acidity and deep sweetness. and SL34SL34SL28's sibling selection, also from Kenya's Scott Labs. Slightly less celebrated but hardier, with a similar juicy, complex cup.. A quiet but meaningful milestone, made possible by a shared commitment. By choosing to purchase the farm’s Ruiru 11 for our SP Coffee project, we created the opportunity for Peter to keep these classic Kenyan varieties apart. In return, we are able to experience their character with greater clarity, while every coffee from the farm finds its purpose and value. For us, this is what partnership looks like. Not simply selecting the coffees we love most, but supporting the whole harvest so that together we can reveal something exceptional.
