From the producer

Muhito is the documented washing-station cooperative. SEY does not name an individual producer or the contributing cooperative members for this release.

From the roaster

SEY describes Muhito as an SL28 and SL34 separation from its Retro 1984 project, with pomegranate, hibiscus and rose.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Retro 1984 focuses on separating classic Kenyan SL varieties at both estates and cooperatives. Independent exact-release reports were mostly enthusiastic about Muhito’s fruit, sweetness and juiciness, while also noting that dialing-in, rest and brew method materially affected clarity.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified provenance

Confirmed Muhito Washing Station, Nyeri along the Aberdare Ridge, 1,760 m, December 2024 harvest, and the SL28/SL34 field blend.

Confirmed processing

Documented hand selection, depulping, approximately 24 hours of fermentation, channel density sorting, an overnight fresh-water soak, and 15 days of raised-bed drying.

Separated retail from supply-chain pricing

Recorded coffeeDB's exact sold-out retail listing of $25.50; SEY's $13.12/kg farm-gate, $15.85/kg FOB, and $17.45/kg FOT figures remain identified as green-coffee supply-chain prices.

Reconciled independent sentiment

Four exact-release discussions were retained as qualitative evidence. No source supplied a numerical cup rating, so no public score was created.

What was added?

Historical $25.50 retail price and a corrected evidence-backed qualitative sentiment summary.

What wasn't added?

No categorical roast level, individual producer, variety proportions, bag-specific roast date, original tasting score, or numerical public sentiment rating was added.

Why it matters

The record now distinguishes consumer retail from supply-chain transparency figures and no longer says independent reviews are unavailable while counting four exact sources.

What you might taste

SEY lists pomegranate, hibiscus, and rose; independent exact-release notes also mention sour cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, grapefruit, bubblegum, sweetness, and juiciness.

Reddit
Reddit r/pourover — Weekly Bean Review Thread
An independent exact-release tasting described SEY Muhito as syrupy and sugary-sweet, with sour cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, hibiscus and light citrus. The reviewer found it heavier and less nuanced than the separated SL28 lots and said it required dialing in.

Reddit r/pourover — Any great Kenya beans around now?
An exact-product discussion included one brewer who found Muhito good but underwhelming at about 3.5 weeks and another who called it a favorite of the year after starting around day 10, with continued enjoyment near one month. The same discussion praised its espresso performance.
