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.

Background:
A classic Kenyan coffee with vibrant fruit, elegant florals and a beautifully sweet finish.
This fully washed AA lot comes from Mitondo Coffee Factory in Kirinyaga County, Central Kenya, where more than 1,000 smallholder farmers deliver freshly picked cherries for processing. The factory has been part of the Mwirua Farmers’ Cooperative Society since 1966, supporting farmers from the surrounding villages of Kirimaini, Kagioini and Ihara.

A further 4 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
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.
