We are delighted to introduce this coffee to our line-up for the first time. Sourced from Wamuguma Coffee Factory, part of the long-established Ritho Farmers' Cooperative Society founded in 1972, this coffee comes from Gatundu in Kiambu County—an area celebrated for producing some of Kenya's most expressive and vibrant coffees. With a strong focus on long-term quality, the cooperative supports its farmers through training in Good Agricultural Practices and sustainable farming.
THE PRODUCER
The Ritho Farmers' Cooperative Society was founded in 1972 and has built a strong reputation for quality over decades of dedicated work. The cooperative maintains a strong focus on long-term quality, supporting its farmers through training in Good Agricultural Practices and sustainable farming techniques. This commitment to education and sustainability ensures consistent quality and community development.
THE PROCESS
The Washed process at Wamuguma Coffee Factory involves:
- 🍒 Cherry Selection — Careful selection from cooperative members
- 🔧 De-Pulping — Mechanical removal of skin and mucilage
- 💧 Fermentation — Controlled wet fermentation
- 🚿 Washing — Thorough washing in clean water
- ☀️ Drying — Careful drying on raised beds
This traditional processing creates expressive and vibrant Kenyan coffees.
THE CUP
Beautifully balanced profile showcasing Kiambu County's expressive character. Lively notes of berries and pomelo, complemented by an elegant floral finish. A vibrant Kenyan peaberry from one of the region's most celebrated coffee-producing areas.
Flavour Notes
- 🫐 Berries
- 🍊 Pomelo
- 🌸 Floral
What is the roast recency?
Prolog doesn't advertise a roast preference to Filter or Espresso, instead they are roasted for the best amongst both - often called Omniroast. That being said, Prolog typically roast light.
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
