Producer overview
The Mbature family produces coffee in the Embu region of Kenya. Their farm operations are situated at an altitude band between 1600 and 1680 meters above sea level.
The family focuses on the cultivation of SL28 and Ruiru 11 varietals. These two cultivars represent the entirety of the varietal landscape documented in the current catalog.
The production portfolio is characterized by a consistent application of the washed process. Both lots recorded in the index utilized this traditional method.
The catalog footprint for the Mbature family includes two distinct lots spanning the 2022 and 2023 harvest years. These coffees have been featured by one roaster, Passenger Coffee.
Recent catalog entries include the Kamavindi AA from 2022 and the Kamavindi AB from 2023. Both lots were processed as washed coffees and comprised a blend of SL28 and Ruiru 11.
The work of the Mbature family is defined by a consistent focus on washed Kenyan varietals within the Embu region.
