ABOUT MUHITO
Muhito is another lot from our Retro 1984 project, with a specific focus on SL variety separations. This washing station is located in Nyeri along the Aberdare ridge, which, in our opinion, produces some of the best coffees in Kenya—and the world. Most of the lots we are working with this year come from single farms, as this approach provides the clearest path to true, traceable variety separations. That said, we were pleasantly surprised when several top-performing washing stations also expressed interest in participating. Muhito is one of those sites.
ABOUT RETRO 1984
This is the first year of Retro 1984—a collaborative project between Peter Mbature, Tim Hill, and SEY, born from years of conversations and a shared concern about the declining quality of Kenyan coffees. This effort is an active step toward asking better questions and conducting meaningful experiments to help revive the flavor profiles we all once knew and loved. The name Retro 1984 references the year just before the introduction of the hybrid variety Ruiru 11 in Kenya. At its core, this project is about returning to SL variety separations and exploring their full potential. We believe deeply in the future of Kenyan coffee, and this is one of the most exciting projects we have ever been a part of—driven by our enduring love for these profiles.
ABOUT SL28 & SL34
“SL” is in reference to single tree selections made by Scott Agricultural Laboratories in 1935-1939. SL34 has a Typica-like genetic background selected from a single tree on the Loresho Estate in Kabete, Kenya. SL28 is of the Bourbon genetic group, and was selected for its drought resistance as well as its extremely high cup quality. SL28 is one of the most well-known and well-regarded varieties in Africa. It has consequently spread from Kenya to other parts of Africa as well as Central and South America. Both varieties are non-hybrid, and very susceptible to disease.
