Kenya Mbuni Natural is a high-elevation coffee grown at approximately 1,800 meters in Kenya’s Central Highlands, specifically in Kiambu County. It includes classic varietals such as SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian. This coffee is processed using the natural (dry) method, where whole cherries are sun-dried with fruit intact, resulting in a vibrant, fruit-forward profile reflecting both innovation and terroir.
Founder Tim Coonan, a former chef with experience in prestigious kitchens around the world, started Big Shoulders Coffee in his garage about a decade ago. His culinary background brings a chef's attention to detail to every roast, sourcing beans from farmers he has built relationships with. Together with his wife Patricia, they have built a brand that prioritizes hospitality and creating a welcoming "third place" for the community, a sanctuary separate from home and work.
