Mamuto AB

About This Coffee

The Mamuto AB is a single-origin coffee from Kenya, sourced from the Kamwangi Factory (wash station), one of three wet mills of the New Ngariama Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga, Central Kenya, on the slopes of Mount Kenya. Cherries are collected from approximately 1,000 smallholders, each farming around 0.4 hectares with roughly 250 trees. The coffee is washed using fresh river water in a recycling fermentation process to reduce water consumption. Rainforest Alliance certified, it is known for an intense, complex, and flavour-dense cup profile.

Bluebird Coffee Roastery

Dario Scilipoti founded Bluebird in 2017 in Howick, a small town in KwaZulu Natal, and moved into a purpose built facility in 2022 that now houses a roastery, cafe, training center, quality control lab, and offices. The operation won Roastery of the Year at the 2021 Coffee Magazine Awards and has continued collecting recognition since, including Best Coffee Packaging and Best Alternative Brewing Experience in 2024. All green coffee selected and imported by Bluebird is exclusive to them in South Africa. Two new carefully selected specialty coffees are released each month, roasted by Fanie Botes, with Luhle Mnyandu heading training and wholesale. Their podcast, Coffee Made Me Do It, was nominated for Podcast of the Year at the 2024 Sprudge Coffee Awards. Bluebird ships within South Africa and internationally, including to Czechia, guided by a stated hierarchy: people, environment, quality, then profit.
