A few years ago we had the incredible opportunity to visit some of the farmers and producers behind this coffee. On the bag it's named Kenya Theri Murarandia - where Theri comes from the name of the wet mill (or factory as it's called in Kenya) and Murarandia comes from the name of the cooperative that runs the three local wet mills. The Theri Wet Mill is comprised of about 800 smallholder farmers, most of whom are growing a variety of produce in their inherited family plots. The soil and climate are just breathtaking, and perfect for nutrient dense coffee growing - rich red volcanic clay at 1800 - 2200 meters altitude, perfect rain seasons and wealthy biodiversity. Everything grows like crazy there.

Solid Rock Foundation has been working in the community for the last decade to grow support and economically sustainable initiatives - they've built a thriving children's home, heavily support the local primary school, host medical clinics, they're raising support for a women's vocational facility, and… they're in the midst of looking at the INSANE amount of beautiful coffee surrounding the community and working to create direct relationships so the profitability of coffee farming is way more sustainable than it currently is.

If huge Kenyan coffee acid isn't your thing, maybe this coffee will fit the bill. It's balanced, has a very pleasant body, and a beautifully sweet brown sugar body. Think of it more in the realm of a "crushable Kenyan coffee." Great on espresso and drip alike.
