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.
No roaster can pay to change a figure or the order of a list; any paid placement is labelled Sponsored.
What Monogram Roasters says about this coffee
This new lot is bursting with rasberries, orangepeel and honey notes. Medium body, black tea and chocolaty flavors.
Mutitu washing station is situated at the volcanic highlands of Mount Kenya in Kirinyaga county and it is part of Mutira Cooperative which has 9 washing stations. The factory is owned by small scale farmers and it serves an average of 800 active members who deliver their ripe cherries immediately after harvest. The average farmer owns 0.1 of a ha of land in which they grow coffee as a source of family income and they also grow food such as maize, beans, potatoes, vegetables and fruits for their own use.
Once the coffee is received at the washing station, the farmers will sort the under ripe and over ripe cherries. Thereafter the coffee is weighed and poured into a cherry pit awaiting the pulping process. Once all the members have delivered the coffee for the day, the pulping begins and coffee is dry fermented for 24 hours in clean tanks. Then the coffee is washed off the mucilage using clean water from the river which flows from the deep forest of Mt Kenya. The coffee is soaked in clean water for 6 hours and dried outside on raised beds, the moisture is monitored.…

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
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.
