FARM: Mutitu

BEHIND THE PRODUCTION
The Mutitu factory, located in Kenya’s Kirinyaga region, processes cherries from smallholder farmers who cultivate coffee on nutrient-rich volcanic soils. These farmers grow varieties like Ruiru, Batian, and SL28/34 at high altitudes, which allow for the slow ripening of cherries and the development of complex sugars and acids.

At the Mutitu factory, the washing process begins with rigorous sorting of the cherries to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. Once pulped, the beans undergo fermentation for 24–48 hours to enhance clarity and sweetness. Following fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed and soaked in fresh water for up to 24 hours before being dried on raised beds for 10–14 days. This traditional yet meticulous process is key to the coffee’s remarkable flavor and balance.
LOCATION
The Mutitu factory is situated at an altitude of 2,000 meters in Kirinyaga County, on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya. This region is renowned for its ideal coffee-growing conditions, including rich volcanic soils, cool temperatures, and consistent rainfall. These factors, combined with high elevations, contribute to the exceptional quality and complexity of the coffee.

Kirinyaga’s terroir, characterized by a temperate climate and dramatic landscapes, creates a unique environment where coffee thrives. The combination of careful farming methods and natural conditions results in a cup profile that is both vibrant and elegant, reflective of the region’s commitment to producing world-class coffee.

The washed process at Mutitu begins with the selection of perfectly ripe cherries, which are carefully sorted to ensure quality. Once sorted, the cherries are pulped to remove the outer fruit layer, and the beans are fermented for 24–48 hours. This fermentation stage allows the natural sugars to break down, enhancing the coffee’s clarity and sweetness.

After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed and soaked in clean water to refine their acidity and balance. They are then dried on raised beds for 10–14 days, during which time they are regularly turned to ensure even drying. The final result is a coffee with a clean profile, vibrant fruit flavors, and a refined floral finish.
