Kenya Mungaria

About This Coffee

Mungaria is back for its fourth year at Huck, and tasting great! Over the past few years, we’ve been lucky to get to know some of the folks at Mungaria, particularly factory president Pharis Kibilenge and quality manager Robert Ndurio, and are excited for this year’s bright, but also full and sweet coffee. In Kenya coffee-speak, a factory is a local cooperative, based around a single washing station, and these factories typically organize themselves into larger farmers cooperative societies (FCS) for export efficiencies, farmer trainings, financing, etc. In this case, 219 farmers deliver their coffee to Mungaria Factory, where it is washed using a single fermentation, and dried slowly on raised beds, without a post-wash soak. Mungaria is part of the larger Aguthi FCS. Robert, who oversees quality throughout Aguthi, has earned a bit of international notoriety for lending his hand to amazing coffees, most notably at fellow Aguthi factory, Thageini. Thageini coffees have featured prominently on the World Barista Championship stage, and it’s no coincidence that Mungaria is also delicious. This year’s Mungaria is fruity and sweet, with a touch of warming baking spice. We're tasting currant and blackberry, gingersnap, plum and peach, and bright citrus. A rare coffee that’s simultaneously bright, juicy, and adventurous, while also feeling like something we’d want to warm up to around a fireplace as we settle into winter. This coffee was subject to a tariff upon import. The higher pricing on this product reflects added tariff costs for both the unroasted coffee and our packaging, while striving to maintain profit margins for wholesale partners who match our retail prices, in their businesses. *** For roasting schedule, shipping, receiving & additional information, please visit out Frequently Asked Questions .
