12MG0029NH (Natural Heavy) — Natural Anaerobic · NH (Natural Heavy) · 2000 MASL · SCA 88.2 · AFCA 2026 Winner
View Lot →Mount Elgon, a massive extinct volcano straddling Kenya and Uganda, presents a unique terroir at 1,600–2,200 MASL. Rich volcanic loam soil, cooler temperatures, and the estate's signature sealed-tank CO₂ anaerobic fermentation produce complex, wine-like cups scoring SCA 88.2 — winner of the AFCA 2026 Experimental Category.
K7 variety thrives in rich volcanic soil and rainforest microclimate. Hand-picking of only ripe cherries, sealed-tank fermentation, and careful raised-bed drying create the distinctive tropical fruit and blackberry character that has made Mt. Elgon one of Kenya's most exciting specialty origins.
At 1,700–2,000 MASL on the southern slopes of Mt. Kenya, Kirinyaga produces the iconic washed cup — vibrant phosphoric acidity, full silky body, and the signature blackcurrant finish that commands premium prices internationally.
Kerugoya at 1,800–2,000 MASL produces bold wine-forward lots with intense blackcurrant and plum. Gakuyu-ini delivers bright phosphoric acidity and full silky body — two contrasting expressions within the same celebrated county.
