Mapendo is Swahili for “love”. Linda Mugaruka, agronomist and Mighty Peace Coffee’s (MPC) Chief Quality Officer, ensures that MPC produces loving and award-winning coffee while abiding by the highest environmental & labor standards. One of her curations, Mapendo is Organic & Fair Trade certified, and is farmed by 4,200 farmers, nearly 40% of whom are women. Mapendo makes a sweet and tangy cup with a subtly tannic aftertaste on a pour over methods. When brewed as espresso, it offers syrupy body coated with jam sweetness and citric acidity.
