Kenya - Ngunguini PB

About This Coffee

Grown on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya in Kirinyaga County at 1,600–1,800 meters altitude, this coffee is produced by Ngunguini Washing Station, part of the Kibirigwi Farmers Cooperative Society operating since 1958. Rich volcanic soils, cool mountain air, and ample rainfall create ideal growing conditions for SL 28, SL 34, and Ruiru 11 varieties. Around 1,200 smallholder farmers handpick ripe cherries and deliver them the same day for meticulous washed processing, fermentation, and sun-drying on raised beds.

Clifton Coffee

James Fisher founded Clifton Coffee in Bristol in 2001, initially servicing espresso machines before Ed Buston joined and expanded the business into wholesale. Several of their earliest multi site customers in Bristol remain clients over two decades later. In 2013, Clifton invested in an in house production roastery and a training facility that was among the first of its kind in the UK. By 2022, it had become Bristol's largest roasted coffee wholesaler, supplying around 850 customers including specialty shops, Michelin starred restaurants, and five star hotels across the UK, EU, and Middle East. Ninety percent of the coffee is bought directly from origin through the company's own sourcing relationships. Clifton achieved B Corporation certification in 2023 and holds SCA Premier Campus status.
