Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What da Matteo Roastery says about this coffee
250 grams of whole roasted coffee beans.
Kigari Teachers College is located near Embu town, which benefits from the high altitudes where they are located. They are also dedicated to other activities, besides coffee production, and all the activities are connected - they take advantage of farming activities to make compounds that will benefit coffee trees. In the college, they teach students about good farming practices and sustainability. They are very involved in agriculture, and own pigs and cows. This also enables them to teach their students right on the compound. Kigari uses the manure of the cows to produce organic fertilizer. They are very open-minded and want to promote young people in the coffee industry.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Kenya
da Matteo Roastery describe this coffee as fruity. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Kenya; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Kenya, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
