January Feature: Kenya Nyeri Othaya Ichamama

Mt. Kenya, at the helm of Kenya’s Central Province, is the second tallest peak on the continent of Africa and a commanding natural presence. The mountain itself is a single point inside a vast and surreal thicket of ascending national forest and active game protection communities. The central counties of Kenya extend from the center of the national park, like six irregular pie slices, with their points meeting at the peak of the mountain. It is along the lower edge of these forests where, in wet, high-elevation communities with mineral-rich soil (Mt. Kenya is a stratovolcano) many believe the best coffees in Kenya are produced.

Nyeri is perhaps the most well-known of these central counties. Othaya Farmers Cooperative Society, the umbrella organization that includes Ichamama, is one of Kenya’s larger societies, with 19 different factories and more than 14,000 farmer members across the southern Nyeri region. Ichamama factory membership is primarily 1-acre farmers, less than half a single hectare. Coffee is a most critical cash crop among them but is not the only thing grown—farmers tend to have legumes and vegetables, and occasionally livestock or tea as well. Farmers deliver cherry weekly or more during the harvest month, handpicking and transporting everything themselves or with the help of small amounts of local labor.

Ichamama is regularly one of the best, most straightforward Kenyas we buy for the hallmark mandarin sweetness, roasted grape tomato, and zesty structure that we love.

Each month, our Roastmaster, Jacob Long, will select special coffees exclusively for members of this monthly coffee club. These special blends and single origins will showcase our most exciting new coffees of the moment for you to enjoy.

"It takes a certain spirit of adventure to embark on this coffee journey. To step into the unknown and welcome a mystery coffee each month is exemplary. Those who venture with open minds will not be disappointed by the wonders they discover."

 -Paul Katzeff, Roastmaster Emeritus - Thanksgiving Coffee

These are truly special coffees. Each one from a micro-lot that has been carefully selected by Roastmaster Jacob, and then expertly roasted to reveal the unique flavor within. As a Roastmaster's Select Monthly Coffee Club member, you have exclusive access to these coffees.
