Kenya: Boma AA

About This Coffee

This Kenyan coffee comes from the Boma Farmers Co-operative Society in the Kericho region, grown at 1950 meters altitude. The coffee is produced by approximately 600 smallholder farmers working on plots of roughly two acres in Fort Ternan, around 80 km west of Kericho County. The varieties are SL28 and Batian, fully washed processed. The coffee features notes of lemongrass, caramel, chocolate, and dried fruit, with a lingering finish of bitter almonds and walnuts. It has an elegant, structured mouthfeel and scored 87 on the SCA scale. The coffee cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness and dried on raised mesh beds.

Muttley & Jack's Coffee Roasters

Jack Ryan, an Irishman who spent fifteen years working humanitarian and environmental campaigns with Greenpeace and the United Nations Refugee Agency, launched Muttley & Jack's in 2017 from the island of Rindö in the Stockholm Archipelago. The name honors Jack and his Boston Terrier, Muttley. After training at the Dublin School of Coffee and the Probat factory, and placing second in the Swedish Coffee Roasting Championship that same year, he channeled a former career as a chef into a roasting philosophy grounded in trusting your own palate. The operation centers on microlots and nanolots scoring 87 to 90 on the SCA scale, hand roasted to order and shipped within 24 hours. Sourcing partnerships prioritize direct relationships, and farmers receive between 200 and 400 percent above the commodity market price. The entire model runs on subscriptions, a format Jack built from scratch starting with just fifteen members on his very first roast.
