Introducing Kenya Mukurweini from Mazelab – a wonderfully delicate and floral-fruity coffee from the higher foothills of Kenya that will enchant you with its aristocratic elegance and purity. The cup unfolds with the delicate acidity of red gooseberries, accompanied by a juicy hint of peach, which together create a profile with the lightness and nobility typical of the best Kenyan lots. Gradually, a silky texture and delicate floral aroma are added, wafting through the cup and underscoring its sophistication. Each sip is a harmonious combination of juiciness and elegance, making this coffee the ideal choice for moments when you want to slow down and fully enjoy the moment.
This lot comes from Thunguri Coffee, one of the renowned producers in the Nyeri region, which is rightly considered the heart of Kenyan coffee culture. The plantations are located at an altitude of around 1,710 meters above sea level, where ideal conditions prevail for the slow ripening of coffee cherries—a combination of cooler nights, plenty of sunshine, and rich volcanic soil. It is here that the character of the SL28 variety, which is iconic for Kenya and highly prized for its distinctive fruitiness, bright acidity, and extraordinary clarity in the cup, is fully revealed.
The uniqueness of this coffee is further enhanced by its natural processing. Hand-picked cherries are dried whole on African beds, where they retain maximum sweetness during the long process while developing their complex fruity character. As a result, this coffee stands out for its complexity—sweet and fresh tones alternate with a delicate floral note and a silky body. When prepared on a filter, this profile opens up beautifully, offering an experience that is fresh yet deep and satisfying.
This selection is the essence of the best of the Kenyan terroir – purity, elegance, and fruity harmony in perfect balance. It is a coffee that will caress you with its delicacy and refresh you with its juiciness. Simply a cup that is worth savoring without haste.
