For many years, natural coffees were often linked to lower-grade “Mbuni” lots rather than specialty production. Only recently have a small number of producers and washing stations begun carefully experimenting with high-quality naturals. Today, exceptional Kenyan naturals like Thunguri are still uncommon, offering a unique combination of Kenya’s bright structure with the deeper fruit sweetness and candy-like character of natural processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe recommend resting our coffees for at least 2 weeks up to 2 months  for the best results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calico Coffee","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":53624697454934,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/1291\/8870\/files\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-05-13_at_14.34.23.jpg?v=1779318771"}],"url":"https:\/\/calicocoffee.co.uk\/collections\/complex-fruity.oembed","provider":"Calico Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
