ABOUT
Mwendi Wega is an estate and washing station located near the town of Kerugoya, in the Kibingo district of the Kirinyaga region in Kenya’s Central Valley. The facility has an average annual production of about 11,000 kilos of coffee that it receives from its own farm and a collective group of nearby farming families. The area has red volcanic soil, supporting the production of SL-28, Ruiru 11, and Batian varieties. Farmers also plant corn and bananas among the coffee.
Hands down our top scoring Kenyan selection of 2026, Mwendi Estate brings unique and exciting flavours, with a familiar tart and refined acidity associated with Kenyan coffee. It is the first year we have purchased coffee from Mwendi Estate but Kirinyaga is a region we are drawn back to year after year.
