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 da Matteo Roastery says about this coffee
250 grams of whole roasted coffee beans.
Ngurueri sits at 1,760m on the slopes of Mt. Kenya in Embu County, surrounded by red volcanic soil, 1,100mm annual rainfall, and temperatures of 12–26°C — ideal conditions for exceptional coffee. It serves ~1,500 smallholder farmers as part of the Murue Farmer's Cooperative Society.
Processing follows strict quality standards. Cherries are handpicked and delivered same-day, sorted, pulped, and fermented for 12–48 hours. After full washing and grading, the coffee dries on raised beds over 2–3 weeks.
Sustainability is central — wastewater pits protect local water sources, and farmers are encouraged to plant shade trees alongside coffee.
Farmer Support includes training in good agricultural practices, advances on farm inputs, and financial assistance for schools and farm improvements — ensuring both quality and community wellbeing remain at the heart of Ngurueri's mission.

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, citrus. 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.
