Description

Kamavindi Estate sits at 1638-1750 masl in Embu, on the windward side of Mount Kenya. John Njiru Mbature planted it in 1958, starting with the hundred trees that colonial law then allowed and expanding once the restrictions lifted. His son Peter farms it today with his mother Hellen and his sister Gladwell. They are steadily replanting toward pure SL28, and they share what they learn with the smallholders in the surrounding village of Kibugo. At the end of last year Jackie suggested a slow drying indoor dark room, a way to dry the coffee more gently and hold on to clarity, sweetness and structure. We started that project with the family and this year we went back, looked at the room and carried on. Kamavindi is also where we found what may be the first Geisha ever cultivated in Kenya. This lot is SL28 and SL34 together, washed in the Kenyan way. Red currant and blackberry lead, rosehip runs through the middle, and raw sugar sits underneath it all.
