## What the Brand Says

> Ripe black currant, beautiful complexity with a sparkling passion fruit acidity. Everyone loves a good story and it doesn’t get better than Mwendi Wega. Unsatisfied with delivering to their local factory and cooperative, a group of closely located farmers outside of the city of Kerugoya decided to pull their collective resources together and build a factory – washing station. With an experienced mill manager and a tight knit membership group this coffee is some of our favourite out of Kenya this year. With ripe black currant flavour, beautiful complexity, and a sparkling lime zest acidity, we are sure you will join in our collective affection for this coffee.
