Kenya AA Wamuguma

We love coffee from Africa—and we’re excited to introduce you to this wonderful, washed AA lot from the Wamuguma Factory in the Kiambu region.

The Wamuguma Coffee Factory is located in Gatundu South, in northern Kiambu, near the border with Muranga—the area considered the birthplace of Kenya’s first president, Jomo Kenyatta. It is one of two washing stations operated by the Ritho Farmers' Cooperative Society, which was founded in 1995 following a split from the larger Gatundu Farmers' Cooperative Society. About 1,700 smallholder farmers bring their cherries here; the cooperative places a strong emphasis on training in good agricultural practices and on actively involving women and the younger generation to ensure the quality and future of production.

As a classic highland growing region located near the equator, Kiambu offers ideal conditions for top-quality Arabica beans—iron-rich, semi-volcanic soils, abundant sunshine, and growing altitudes ranging from 1,700 to 1,900 meters. The cool nights allow the cherries to ripen slowly—this is where the lively acidity and unique aromatic complexity that Kenyan coffee is prized for develop. The varieties grown here are Batian, Ruiru 11, and SL28.

The coffee is traditionally processed using the “fully washed” method. After pulping, the coffee ferments for 12 to 48 hours, is washed, and then sun-dried for two to three weeks on African drying beds. It then rests for three weeks in the pergamino before being hulled, sorted, and hand-sorted.

Look forward to a cup with notes of black currants, rhubarb, and rose hips.

    About ten years ago, Helmut Ulrich launched Soul Seed, a project with a strong focus on sustainability, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Colombia. The organic cultivation of heirloom Arabica coffee plants is carried out in harmony with nature. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are kept away from these coffee plants and the harvest workers. Fertilization is done exclusively with the farm's own compost, chicken manure, and recycled water. While organic coffee farming has always been practiced on the farm, the high costs for the small operation led to the decision to forgo organic certification starting with the 2025 harvest.

    The Austrian-born farmer places particular emphasis on involving the local population in his project. Therefore, the harvest workers on the farm are paid double the local average wage. Furthermore , as many processing steps as possible are deliberately carried out by hand rather than by machine, thus ensuring that the harvest workers retain more of their earnings.

    To enrich the unique flora and fauna on and around the coffee farm, Helmut is actively reforesting. For every sack of coffee sold, 100 native trees are planted. He also supports his neighbors with coffee seedlings so they can improve their harvests.

    The wet processing of the coffee cherries takes place directly on the farm, which is difficult to reach by vehicle. After the pulp is removed, the coffee beans are fermented in tanks for 18 hours. This process removes the remaining pulp and mucilage. The coffee beans are then washed and dried on raised beds in Africa. This processing method results in a particularly clean cup profile.

    The dark roast gives this coffee a full body and pleasing roasted aromas. Flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, and dried fruit delight the palate. This coffee is particularly well-suited for classic espresso and milk-based drinks.

    Finca El Placer is located at 1400m near Calarcá and is run by Sebastián Ramírez, the fourth generation of his family to do so. Thanks to traditional agricultural techniques and organic fertilizers, they have been able to completely forgo synthetic herbicides. This exceptional Pink Bourbon lot was processed using the Infused Honey method. In this process, the ripe coffee cherries are fermented for 48 hours in sealed tanks with CO2 (carbonic maceration). During this fermentation, natural extracts of fruits and herbal juices are added. The coffee cherries are then pulped and dried with the mucilage for up to 30 days until the desired moisture content of 10% is reached. The result of this experimental processing method is an extremely intense aroma of berries and other red fruits. The Maillard reaction complements the complex fruit aromas with delicate caramel notes from the fruit sugars. A fantastic coffee that demonstrates the great range of aromas that is possible through special processing after harvesting.

    The unique character of this rare coffee is underscored by a beautiful image from the artist Daniel Domig .
