This field blend of local Bourbon varieties from the Iyenga AMCOS(Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) did not disappoint. Iyenga's washing station in Songwe includes 193 official contributing members, and purchases cherry\/parchment from a total of 500+ smallholder farmers in the surrounding area. Most folks delivering to the station are within walking distance, though to maintain a rule of less than 8 hours between picking and depulping, some larger harvests are brought by truck. The station operates a Penagos eco-pulper to conserve water, and runs an extremely tight washing protocol of just a single 10-12 fermentation before a fully cleaned up final washing step. The coffees are then dried between 7-12 days, on raised beds when they are available. As Iyenga's management looks to the future, they hope to acquire more drying space and build more raised beds to extend drying time and further refine their quality focused practices. These efforts are definitely paying off, as we have watched the pre-shipment samples from this program increase in quality from the previous year, initially peaking our interests in early 2025 as the cleanest and most complex Tanzanian coffee we had had thus far.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis year's harvest boasts a lovely punchy acidity and tons of tropical fruit, with some more classic east African vibes on the back end. In the cup, we find juicy mango and guava notes upfront, with some refined spice notes of cardamom and clove, and a delicate body that carries black tea and subtle florals. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSource: Showroom Coffee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shoebox Coffee","offers":[{"title":"125 gr","offer_id":57694184505718,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/9163\/6342\/files\/Iyenga-shopify.webp?v=1776627351","url":"https:\/\/kultivarcoffee.com\/products\/tanzania-iyenga-amcos-pb-washed","provider":"Kultivar Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
