Our Featured Coffee.
Colombia Alto Occidente
Hailing from the Caldas region of Colombia, the Alto Occidente cooperative is comprised entirely of smallholder farmers. The rich, complex cup of tart cherry acidity tempered by honey and oak is a testament to the cooperative’s emphasis on agricultural investment and diligent processing.
Burundi Kibingo
Named after the Kibingo Washing Station to which over 3,500 smallholder farmers deliver their coffee cherries for processing, this particular coffee is a unique example of yeast inoculation. Seeking to better regulate fermentation, the processing team places the coffee in containers with Cima yeast prior to drying the batch on raised beds. The resulting cup is a rich combination of sweet fig with a bright, watermelon aftertaste.
