Not stated by the roaster
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 Roasticious says about this coffee
Kenyan Top Lot Tasting Kit
Seven washed Kenyan lots, each scored above 86 SCA by our green coffee merchant Covoya. Selected through primeur tasting, a first look reserved for a limited number of roasters ahead of general allocation. Roasted to preserve acidity structure and cup clarity, rather than soften it for easy drinking. Same washed process, same light Nordic-style profile across all seven, so the variation you taste comes from county, factory, and lot, less from roast style, spanning Nyeri, Murang’a, and Kirinyaga.
What does FCS mean?
FCS stands for Farmers Cooperative Society, the primary organizational unit for smallholder coffee production in Kenya.
A single FCS is typically owned and governed by several hundred to several thousand member farmers, most cultivating under half a hectare each.
Rather than each farmer processing their own cherry, an FCS operates one or more factories, Kenya’s term for a wet mill, where members deliver ripe cherry for sorting, depulping, fermentation, washing, and drying under shared management.
A single FCS name on a bag does not indicate a single farm. It indicates a cooperative structure: many smallholders, one factory, one processing…

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.

Recyclable packaging
“We offers 100% low-density polyethylene (LDPE-4) coffee bags, including the valve, that are fully recyclable.” their page (opens in a new tab)
SCA member
“Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scoring is a system for evaluating the quality of green coffee beans.” their page (opens in a new tab)
These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.
Where each fact came from
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.
