Mamuto AB Medium, Kenya

George Howell Coffee has been buying Mamuto since 2006. It has never faltered. The late Walter Mathagu always produced coffees that were perfectly ripe and sweet. They ranged from excellent to exquisite. Even as weather patterns challenged, they never overcame him. Walter was THE small farmer pioneer of quality coffee in Kenya and a consummate craftsman until his passing in 2021. He was an agricultural officer serving the government of Kenya for seventeen years before retiring in 1987. More than anyone, Walter put his coffee region, Kirinyaga, on the map. He raised small farmer awareness to what is possible and brought seekers of great specialty coffee in growing numbers to his area. Thank you, Walter! His legacy continues through his family - his sons, Peter, Jason, and Patrick Mathagu who now run this great farm.  Walter grew the SL-28 variety - sweet, full-bodied, and complex - easily the equal of any Gesha, which can sell for over $1,000 per pound. Mamuto’s beans have proved again
