Founded in 1963 on the southern slopes of Mt Kenya, Mutitu Factory serves 1,250 smallholder farmers in Kirinyaga, each with small plots of coffee grown alongside macadamia, beans, and corn. Handpicked cherries are pulped, double-fermented, washed, and uniquely soaked for up to 24 hours before drying on raised beds. This meticulous process, combined with Kirinyaga’s rich volcanic soils and abundant rainfall, produces coffees of remarkable vibrancy and clarity. Mutitu’s blend of Batian, SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11 delivers the bright acidity and complex profiles that make Kenyan coffees among the most celebrated in the world.
