What Five Elephant says about this coffee

Located just outside Karatina in Kenya’s central highlands, Thunguri Factory has been operating since 1962. It is part of the Kibirigwi Farmers’ Cooperative Society and receives cherries from over 1,000 smallholder farmers in the surrounding villages. Most producers farm between 200–300 trees on small plots intercropped with subsistence crops.

Coffees are grown above 1,600 meters, where cool temperatures and rich volcanic soil contribute to slow cherry development and refined cup structure. Thunguri uses traditional washed processing: cherries are sorted, pulped, fermented overnight, soaked, and dried on raised beds for 14 days.

This lot is made up primarily of SL28 and SL34. These cultivars are known for their clarity, acidity, and depth. In the cup, expect blackcurrant, citrus, and floral notes, with a crisp, tea-like finish—a standout expression of Kenya’s high-elevation terroir.

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.

A further 2 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.
