Editor’s pick
Mamuto AA, Kenya
George Howell Coffee · KE · Kirinyaga · washed
A high-confidence Kirinyaga AA with sustained critical acclaim across four independent channels.
George Howell rarely misses with Kenya, and this Mamuto AA is the reason why. The Mathagu brothers deliver a classic SL28 profile that leans heavily into dark stone fruit and floral aromatics. You get the expected blackberry acidity, but the violet note provides a sophisticated lift that keeps the cup from feeling heavy. With consistent praise from both industry press and enthusiast communities, this is the kind of reliable, high-scoring lot you want in your rotation.
