Traditional Washed, SL28/SL-34/Ruiru 11/Batian, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best for Filter/Pourover/Turbo Espresso
3 key notes: [Blackcurrant, Poached Rhubarb, Violet
Traditional Washed: Selectively picked cherries are delivered by smallholders to Gakuyu-ini Factory, where they are sorted at intake, then pulped in the afternoon with the parchment fermented overnight. The parchment is then washed with density sorting, with the top grades sent for a secondary soak in fresh water of around 16 hrs, before moving to raised beds to dry over 8 - 14 days, weather dependent.
We're tasting:
Really classic Kenyan aromatics - blackcurrant & apple cordial, some floral black tea like darjeeling. In the cup it's like hot vimto - all the purple fruits, with a hint of baking spice and pomegranate molasses, alongside lemon verbena and a floral note that reminds us of parma violets. As it cools, the acidity resolves to a really juicy malic note like poached rhubarb. Emblematic of type

About The Producer
Javier Cantillo Vega is a part of the Divino Niño cooperative. His trees are between three and ten years old, planted on a land spanning approximately three hectares. During harvest season, he employs up to 10 local pickers to handpick the coffee cherries.

Variety: Pink Bourbon
Country: Colombia
Region: Cajibio, Cauca
Process: Honey & Co-Ferment
Altitude: 1750 MASL
Producer: Andrés Martinez
Farm: El Sendero
Roast Level: Light
In the cup
We taste delicate chamomile, florals reminiscent of rose, and sweet baking spices. This coffee has a unique profile with a silky body and a sweet finish.
About The Producer
Andrés used to work as a biochemical engineer and coffee processor at El Paraiso. Now, he focuses on sourcing, growing, and processing his own lots of coffee. Andrés owns two farms, Los Capachos and El Sendero. Both farms are located in Florencia, which is south of Cauca and close to Nariño. It is a land well-known for its mineral soils, which produce unique terroirs to the coffee. The quality of this coffee is enhanced by organic handling and the protection of the soil through the utilization of native species.
Processing
Ripe Pink Bourbon cherries are hand-selected and floated to remove defects. A chamomile infusion is prepared ahead of time by steeping chamomile flowers in hot water and allowing them to extract for 48 hours. The coffee is then de-pulped with the mucilage left intact. The coffee is placed into fermentation tanks where the chamomile infusion is added. The Pink Bourbon ferments for 72 hours before undergoing a light wash to remove the remaining mucilage. The coffee is then dried on sun-bed driers for 10 to 15 days.
Traditional Washed, JARC Cultivars and Jimma Landraces, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best for Filter/Pourover/Turbo Espresso
3 key notes: [Peach Iced Tea, Lemon Bun, Wildflowers]
Simon and Merlith's farm is in the Jaén province, planted in early 2020 with Ethiopian landrace and JARC lines alongside the more "classic" Latin American cultivars, with roughly half the property preserved as primary forest. Working as Falcon's country manager, Simon's years of quality improvement work with Peruvian smallholders led him to permanently relocate in 2019. His previous role as Head of Sourcing for Falcon gave him the global connections to obtain seedstock with germlines from Jimma, Sidama and Yirgacheffe, hence the name Las Etiopes ("The Ethiopians").
We’re tasting:
Super bright and sweet aromas - lemon curd, fresh white florals and butterscotch. In the cup the first impression is of peach iced tea, with a buttery body, layered florals and supporting notes of dried apricots, chamomile and lemongrass. As it cools that buttery caramel note becomes quite brioche-y, with the lemon curd it give the distinct impression of lemon iced buns.
Anoxic Natural, Gesha, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best for Filter. Turbo-espresso or pourover
3 key notes: [Blueberry Jam, Tropical, Lavender]
We welcome Yoiner to the offer after he took over his Aunt Marisela's Rosado plot, and with it we swiftly became fans of his work. While Colombia harvests biannually, Yoiners Gesha tends to only produce an exportable crop once a year - and this lot absolutely jumped off the table at us tasting like an old-school natty eth. We're thinking of 2018 Banko Gotiti natural as a particularly specific reference
All the berry, tropical, floral notes we expect from the concept of a natty Eth, yet distinctly also a Colo Gesha. Banger
We're tasting:
Raspberry jam aromatics alongside lavender and honeysuckle. In the cup it's straight blueberry jam, with tropical notes of soursop, papaya and ripe guava, alongside lemon zest and a hint of coriander seed, super juicy and long. As it cools the florals become more defined, and the blueberry note persists hot to cold.
Tasting notes Rose hip, bergamot & iced tea

About beans:
Sewda Natural Coffee Processing Wet Mill, where this Sawana lot comes from, is located in the region of Oromia, Guji, Ethiopia. It is a purchasing and processing station, where local coffee farmers harvest ripe cherries and deliver them daily. It serves around 600 smallholder farmers in the area. Upon delivery, cherries are weighed, organized, and sorted accordingly. Contributing producers are paid a market price that includes a premium for high-quality selection.
Sewda Wet Mill is owned by Testi Trading PLC, a family-owned company embedded at the origin to supply the specialty coffee industry with high-quality coffee beans. Mr. Faysel together with his family established Testi Trading PLC in 2009. The name ‘Testi’ means joy or Happiness in the Harrari language (it is also the name of Faysel’s middle son). Testi is focusing on quality and long-term relationships, as well as maximizing the potential of Ethiopian Coffee. Their focus is to work with their supply chain of smallholder farms to improve their livelihoods and living conditions.
The present lot followed a washed process. After coffee cherries are delivered to the washing station, they’re carefully sorted and floated to remove any defects, ensuring only the highest quality cherries make it through. The cherries are pulped and fermented for 26-32 hours, then washed and further sorted before being laid out to dry on raised beds.
It takes 10-14 days for the beans to reach their optimal moisture level, and they constantly have to be turned and raked to maintain drying consistency and quality. The beds are also covered every day between 12-3pm to protect the delicate coffee beans from the sun, and again at night as a barrier against humidity.
In the cup, you will find an elevated classic washed Ethiopian profile, expect notes of rose hips, iced tea, and bergamot.

3 key notes: [Mixed Berry Muffin, Choc Raisins, Dense]
This short run espresso is covering a logistical mishap - our next espresso was due to be unloaded into the warehouse on the first of may - we found out on the 5th that not only had it not landed in the country, it was delayed by 3 weeks with a transhipment and was still on the water. A mad scrabble to look through the proverbial rolodex of cupping notes alighted us on this community lot from Chacra - super high altitude farms from a somewhat inaccessible and under-appreciated region of Peru, Cumaccha is named after the "Cataratas de Cumaccha" waterfalls, a local beauty spot hidden in the cloud forests - which is the perfect fodder for a brief to Lucas!
We’re tasting:
Mega sweet & chocolate forward - we're getting yorkie esq biscuit & raisin with sweet milk chocolate. There's a mixture of fruit compote and cakey notes behind that remind us of mixed berry muffins with a crumble top, alongside dried mango and strawberry. There's a slight catimor note present that is expressing as walnut & brazil nut, and the processing is evident in the finish as just a hint of aperol style booziness, with a super dense body
