Varietal: SL28, SL34
Process: Washed
Cupping notes: Bright and structured with dense fruit character
Flavour: Bright red cherry, dense fruit finish
Description
This washed Kenyan coffee comes from the Karimikui washing station in Kirinyaga, one of the country’s most respected coffee-growing regions. Grown at around 1,800 meters above sea level, the coffee is managed by the Rung’eto Farmers Cooperative Society, with cherries delivered by producers from Githureia, Gituba, and Kia Mugumo.
Kirinyaga is known for producing coffees with clarity, intensity, and a distinctly fruit-driven profile. In this lot, the classic Kenyan varieties SL28 and SL34 express themselves through a vibrant cup with bright acidity, red fruit character, and a dense, lingering finish.
The washed process brings precision and structure to the cup, resulting in a coffee that feels clean, focused, and flavor-dense without losing balance.
A classic expression of Kenyan coffee—lively, polished, and especially well suited for filter brewing.
Gakenke, Northern Province · Altitude: up to 2,200 m
Variety: Red Bourbon
Process: Washed
Flavour: Honey / Vanilla / Floral
Description
This fully washed Red Bourbon comes from the Muzo cooperative in Gakenke, Northern Province of Rwanda. The Muzo washing station gained international recognition after winning the Cup of Excellence in 2014 and has continued to deliver high-scoring coffees in the years since.
Farmers deliver cherries grown at elevations up to 2,200 meters above sea level, ideal conditions for slow maturation and the development of clarity and sweetness in the cup. The fully washed process emphasizes structure and clean acidity while allowing the coffee’s natural sweetness to come forward.
In the cup, this lot presents honeyed sweetness, soft vanilla tones, and delicate floral notes, supported by a balanced and composed acidity.
Roasted light to preserve clarity and aromatics.
Ancco, Cusco · Altitude: 1,700–2,000 m
Varietal: Typica, Bourbon
Process: Washed
Cupping notes: Sweet and rounded with gentle florals
Flavour: Milk chocolate, plum, dark jam
Description
This washed coffee comes from the Ayacucho Collective, a group of sixteen families farming in the mountains of Ancco, near Cusco. Their farms sit between 1,700 and 2,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by native shade trees, fertile volcanic soils, and views over the Apurímac River valley.
The producers work with traditional Andean farming practices, using careful fieldwork and shade-grown systems that help protect the soil and support slow, even cherry development. Harvest takes place from May to September, with careful cherry selection across the collective.
In the cup, this coffee is soft, sweet, and composed. Expect milk chocolate, plum, dark jam, and raisin-like fruit, supported by gentle florals and a caramel sweetness that gives the cup a rounded, lingering finish.
A balanced Peruvian coffee with depth and comfort—well suited for filter brewing.
Kayanza · Altitude: 1,700–1,900 m
Varietal: Red Bourbon
Process: Fully washed
Cupping notes: Floral and fruit-driven with clean sweetness
Flavour: Honey, stone fruit, cacao
Description
This fully washed Red Bourbon comes from Kibingo washing station in Kayanza, northern Burundi. The station sits at almost 1,900 meters above sea level and receives coffee from 1,739 smallholder farmers cultivating the surrounding hills.
The cherries are selectively handpicked, floated, sorted, pulped, fermented, washed, and graded before drying on raised beds. This carefully washed process creates a clean and structured cup, highlighting the floral and fruit-driven character Burundi is known for.
In the cup, Kibingo shows honeyed sweetness, soft stone fruit, and a cacao-like depth, with a balanced acidity and smooth, composed finish. It is elegant rather than loud, making it a strong choice for both filter brewing and a lighter, more nuanced espresso.
This coffee is also IMPACT Verified, with purchases supporting a livestock initiative that helps coffee-farming families in Burundi build more stable incomes over time
