Kabumbu is located in the foothills of extinct volcano, Mt Kenya. Owned/managed by Joseph Mugo Karaba and Pauline Mumbi Mugo who inherited the farm from Joseph's father, Kabumbu produced just 360kg of coffee this year. Rumble has exclusive access!

The area surrounding Kabumbu is characterised by its bright red, nutrient-rich volcanic soil and cool climate, both of which contribute to the outstanding quality of the coffees produced on this farm. When Joseph inherited this farm, tea was the main crop produced here. Instead, Joseph decided to try coffee - and he hasn’t looked back since.

Small-scale, independent farmers like Joseph who process coffees themselves are in a position to directly control quality across every aspect of their production - from harvesting and picking, through to processing and drying. The resulting coffee reflects the incredible degree of hard work and attention to managing variables that Joseph so carefully pours into his work. The cherries for this lot were carefully handpicked by Joseph and his team, then sorted to ensure only the ripest were processed. Joseph has a small washing station on the farm, allowing him to fully process the coffee before it’s taken to the mill.

Kenya’s coffee regulations are constantly evolving. At present, all coffee must be purchased through the official Nairobi auctions. That means lots are first cupped and scored, then sent to auction where a licensed buyer bids on them. To secure Joseph’s coffee, we appointed someone on the ground to represent us and bid on our behalf.

This lot is a true showcase of the value of farmer-led production. We’re so proud to share this Rumble exclusive with you.
