Mwendi Wega, Kenya - Peaberry

This was the very first coffee we ever imported for the launch of Stamp Act back in 2018. Mwendi Wega has a special place in our hearts and we are thrilled to be able to feature their Peaberry this year, granted we only have 3 bags of this amazing coffee so grab it while you can :-) 

"Mwendi wega" are Swahili words meaning "each other" 

In the hopes of creating more transparency for their community, a group of 42 farmers outside the city of Kerugoya in the region of Kiringyaga decided to pull their collective resources together and build a washing station with hope to better support each other. We first visited Mwendi Wega in 2016 before Stamp Act Coffee was born. Coffee was incredible then, which is no doubt the efforts of their experienced mill manager, James Mumane, and a tight- knit membership group. This fresh crop continues to shine every season and is hands down one of our favorite out of Kenya over the last few years.
