The quality of Kibingo Estate last year was exceptional, and we were eager to see what this year's harvest would bring. It did not disappoint. Anthony has produced some of the top lots in Kenya, and it is an honor to again have the opportunity to work with his coffee. In the cup we find dark fruit, rose hips, and lemon.

ABOUT ANTHONY KIMANI
This is our second year purchasing coffee from Anthony Kimani, and the quality continues to be exceptional. He is an award-winning producer in Kenya and was one of the first to work with Kamavindi Lab, allowing Peter and his family to export his coffee. We are deeply grateful for Anthony Kimani's trust in the project and his willingness to give the Mbature family the opportunity to export and market his coffee.
ABOUT THIS FIELD BLEND*
We believe this lot from Kibingo is composed entirely of the main Kenyan varieties: SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11. However, recent genetic testing on other farms has begun to challenge long-held assumptions about which varieties are actually being cultivated in Kenya. This remains an ongoing research project, and we will share the updated findings as the story unfolds!

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
