What Miró says about this coffee
About the farm
Muchagara opened in 1959 and is named after a village in the Kirinyaga county. This is the oldest processing factory in Kirinyaga. The area around this factory is known for its exceptional growing conditions, making the location of this centre ideal for smallholders around this area. It is part of the Baragwi FCS which currently has around 1700 member farmers.
About the process
During harvest, smallholders in the area deliver ripe cherries to the factory for sorting and processing. An Agaarde disc pulping machine removes the skin and pulp of the cherries before they undergo a period of grading to ensure only the highest quality cherries get passed on. After a period of fermentation for 16-24 hours, the coffees are washed with clean water and soaked for another 16-18 hours to create that distinct crisp acidity unique to coffees in this region. Lastly, the coffee beans are covered and dried on raised beds under the sun for 21 days. The resulting coffee is juicy, sweet, and sparkly with flavours reminiscent of sweet citrus and caramelized sugars.

How it sits among coffee from Kenya
Miró 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.

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.
