Kenya AA Thunguri

About This Coffee

This Kenya AA Thunguri coffee is grown on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya and processed at the Thunguri Wet Mill, part of the Kibirigwi Farmer Cooperative Society who have been cultivating coffee since 1953. Red ripe cherries are hand-selected and delivered to the wet mill on the same day. The parchment is fermented, washed, and sun-dried before being milled and bagged at Sangana coffee mills. This coffee is sold through the Nairobi auction and imported to the UK by DR Wakefield. It presents the classic Kenyan flavor profiles expected of specialty Kenyan coffees.

Thomson's Coffee Roasters

Thomson's Coffee Roasters traces its origins to 1841, when David Thomson began manufacturing Naperian vacuum coffee pots on St Vincent Street in Glasgow. That makes it Scotland's oldest coffee roaster, now in the hands of the Jenkins family, who purchased the business in 2011 as only the third family to own it in over 180 years. The current roastery, built in 1960 on Glasgow's Southside in Giffnock, houses both a vintage 1940s Whitmee flame roaster and Scotland's first Loring Kestrel S35, installed in 2015. Their coffee is organised into three ranges: Core, LAB, and Legacy, with the signature 1841 blend based on David Thomson's original recipe. Beyond roasting, the business runs multiple retail locations across Glasgow and offers wholesale supply, equipment rental, barista training, and engineering services.
