Region: Mahal Aqeequl, Haraaz
Varietals: Tufahi, Dawairi, Jaaadi

The Yemen Mahal Aqeequl is a natural process coffee that is a part of our Highland Collection. It features notes of savory spices, wine and a rich berry sweetness. It becomes sweeter as it cools. This coffee has so much to offer. We find that every time we try it there are more layers of flavor to be uncovered. It’s really exciting and uncommon to see coffees like this in Yemen that are both excellent quality and fully traceable.

We really love this coffee, not only because of the amazing characteristics, but the impact that it has on the farmers and the coffee culture in Yemen as a whole. By purchasing this coffee, you are partnering with us to better the livelihood of everyone involved, helping farmers receive higher prices while incentivizing ways to better their crop for higher quality coffee.

This coffee is substantially different from the norm of the Yemen coffee market. Typically coffee is harvested, then dried to be sold later over a longer period of time, reducing traceability and freshness of the cherries. This Haraaz Red grade Mahal Aqeequl is purchased directly from producers who have picked or sorted perfectly ripe fruit and delivered it immediately after harvest. Fully traceable through producer ID cards. Coffee is dried on raised beds and milled in Sana'a.

Varietal:
Catuai, Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, Pacas

Honduras is somewhat unique in that it experienced the most significant growth in export volume after the emergence of the specialty coffee industry, so new farmers and new mills begin with quality as their goal. Coffee is now pervasive in Honduras, grown in 210 of the 298 municipalities and throughout central and coastal highlands within six districts identified as Coffee Regions. Starting in the north and moving south, the regions are Copan, Opalaca, Montecillos, Comayagua, El Paraiso, and Agalta. More than 60 percent of Honduras coffee is grown above 1,200 meters and as high as 1,600. Almost 90% of Honduras coffee is grown on small (less than 153 bags) and medium (between 153 and 766 bags) sized farms. Virtually all Honduras coffee (over 90%) is washed and sun dried. Plant varieties include Catuai, Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, and Pacas.

Process:

Elevation:

Notes:
Dark Chocolate, Almond, Candied Citrus

Varietal:
Caturra, Typica, Marsellesa

Ki-Saya is an organic offering from Chiapas. The name come from the combination of two words in the indigenous Mayan language of the area: Ki, meaning “tasty” and Saayab, which means “nature.” Coffee is the most important commercial crop in Chiapas and has a long history in the region, representing a significant source of income for small producers, some 44% of whom are indigenous, mostly Tzotzil and Tzeltal.

In the Tzeltal region, organic coffee production begins with a profound respect for the natural environment. Farmers prioritize the health and well-being of the land, avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides that can harm both the ecosystem and the consumer. Instead, they rely on traditional knowledge and organic inputs, such as compost and natural pest control methods, to nurture the coffee plants.

Tanzanian coffee producers have embraced innovation, transitioning from an old depulping method to a clean washed process. This shift involves using Penagos ecopulpers and meticulously maintained clean washing channels, mirroring methods you’d find in coffee-producing regions like Kenya or Ethiopia. These investments in agronomic best practices combined with the unique varieties grown (mainly Kent, alongside hybrids and Bourbon mutations rarely found elsewhere) offer immense potential for speciality offerings out of Tanzania.

Notes:

Varietal:
Caturra, Colombia, Castillo

Sourced from the elevated terrains of Buesaco Nariño in southern Colombia, this exquisite coffee is cultivated at over 2,000 meters above sea level on average. Buesaco's unique geographic and climatic conditions, characterized by volcanic soil and an average temperature of 65 °F, provide an optimal environment for producing coffee with distinct mild taste, high acidity, and sweet notes. 

The region’s coffee cultivation heritage dates back to the 18th century, growing over time to become an integral part of the local cultural, economic, and social fabric. With its first international exposure in the early 20th century, Buesaco Nariño's coffee has since been celebrated in the specialty coffee segment worldwide for its unparalleled quality, cultivated in the unique environmental conditions of the region.

Notes:
Dark Chocolate, Pear, Blackberry

Varietal:
Huehuetenango

This is an SHB EP grade washed coffee from Unión Cantinil municipality, located in the Huehuetenango department of Guatemala. This coffee is produced by smallholder farmers who typically have around 1ha of land and cultivate the varieties of Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon & Pache.

The coffee is fully processed by smallholder farmers. Cherries are harvested ripe and then de-pulped usually by either manual or small-motored pulpers. This is then left to ferment overnight until the coffee’s remaining mucilage has broken down. Washing is then carried out, usually in specialised channels.

The washed parchment is always sun dried as the small holders don’t have access to mechanical driers. The drying takes advantage of every bit of flat, full sun space that can be found, which is limited in Huehuetenango due to the mountainous and shaded terroir. This means the coffee is dried on roof tops, small patios and on tarps. It must be turned to ensure even drying and avoid over-fermentation or mold. Once the drying is complete the coffee is delivered to our Union Cantinil buying station for quality control and consolidation.

Huehuetenango is both a large department (or state) and the eponymous capital city of that same department. While coffee isn’t grown in the city of Huehuetenango, it is abundant in the high altitude mountains to the west and north of the city. Producers are predominantly smallholders with around 1 hectare of land. In order to buy coffee directly from these smallholder groups we have installed a number or regional micro-warehouses and buying stations. This has both enabled us to receive coffee directly from the small holders and cut the transport & logistics costs for them; all while providing stable market access for these remote communities.

Our micro-warehouse in Unión Cantinil is located in the heart of the municipality and receives coffee from a small radius of about 15km. This high altitude region has some of the best coffees in Huehuetenango. The generally north facing aspect of the mountains means the sun takes its time reaching the small plots where the coffee is grown. While there is some Catimor planted in the region, the common varietals are more traditional and conducive to a high quality cup, such as Bourbons, Caturras and Pache

Located near the town of San Cristóbal Verapaz, in the cool, rainy reaches of Cobán, Guatemala, Finca San Lorenzo nestles in the verdant hills at around 1,500 metres above sea level. San Lorenzo is the Valdés family’s second farm, purchased in 1987 as a sort of ‘little brother’ to another of our favourite Guatemala farms, Santa Isabel. When Lorenzo was first bought, there was only one small plot of land under coffee. Today, the family have developed 20 different lots under coffee, covering 110 hectares of the farm. The remaining 35 hectares are under forest cover.

Named for Ethiopia’s national tree, Acacia Core Coffee comes from smallholder farmers in the Yirgacheffe and Guji regions. The sweet, fruity profile of Ethiopia Acacia Washed is selected to represent the classic flavors of some of Ethiopia’s best recognized coffee producing regions. Ethiopia Acacia Washed is produced by the smallholder farmers who characterize the coffee production landscape of Ethiopia.

In these southern regions of Ethiopia farmers pick coffee selectively, harvesting only ripe cherries individually by hand. Pickers rotate among the trees every eight to ten days, choosing only the cherries which are at peak ripeness. Coffee is depulped and washed by hand in cement canals at community washing stations. After fermenting in water to loosen the mucilage, wooden paddles are used to fully wash the coffee. Coffee is then placed on raised beds to dry in the sun.

The Neja Fadil wet mill has registered about 250 farmers who are located in the villages surrounding the wet mill (in Tobitu Tuta Kebele). This lot (from 45 of the 250 registered farmers) is unique, in that - even as part of the coffee powerhouse Guji region - only over the past few years have residents of Tobitu Tuta begun farming coffee. Mr. Neja Fedil is a recent arrival to coffee export, having built his washing station in 2017 after working for several years as a coffee collector on commission for other washing stations. In his youth - also recent! - Neja played on his local district football (soccer) team. As is becoming increasingly common at private washing stations in Ethiopia now, the station is currently expanding registration of farmer suppliers and launching agronomy trainings to expand quality control to the farm level.

Process:

Elevation:

Notes:
Orange, Apple, Molasses

Varietal:
Caturra

The Inga community of Aponte is comprised of descendants of the ancient, pre-Hispanic Incas. During the period of conquest, they remained isolated high in the mountains that became their natural refuge. This community did not resume significant contact with the rest of Colombia until the second half of the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, in the 1990’s, contact was mostly criminal, and the Inga’s refuge became a place of cruelty.

In the last decade the mountains have become a safe zone for the Inga tribe, and illegal crops were eradicated to give way to a new culture: coffee! The Caturra variety has been planted in the Inga territory, on smallholder properties in the Resguardo Inga Aponte, at an average of 2150 meters above sea level. This elevation, combined with the Galeras Volcano constantly shedding nutrient-rich ash, makes for an exceptionally complex and sweet coffee.

The Alvarez family has been growing coffee in El Salvador for over 100 years and across four generations. Their award-winning farms are located on the lush green hills of Santa Ana, in the west of the country, whose rich volcanic soils and mild climate provide ideal conditions for growing coffee. The beans which together make up El Borbollón come from two small neighboring farms – La Reforma and Santa Maria. They are hand-picked and collected in traditional hand woven baskets from December until March by pickers who have been specially trained to select only the best and fully-mature coffee cherries.

The El Puente processing facility is located in Fundador township, Palestina, Huila, Colombia. “El Puente” translates to “the bridge”, named not only for the footbridge that spans a nearby river, but more importantly representing the connection that the processing facility creates between local smallholder producers and the global specialty coffee industry. The facility is just a 20 minute drive to the coffee centers of Pitalito and downtown Palestina, and is strategically located in an area with a high density of coffee to allow easy delivery of cherries by local coffee producers.

Coffee cherries are placed in a large parabolic dryer covered with shade fabric to regulate the temperature.

Mrs. Gemedech Fulasa was born not too far from where she currently lives, and she is the only child to her parents. She inherited her 4.5 hectare coffee farm when her father passed away in 2011. In the Gedeo culture, land inheritance usually goes to the male children. However, her being the only child, she has taken this opportunity to inherit the land and shine as one of few female coffee farmers and one of the highest quality coffee farmers in Yirgacheffe. Before inheriting the coffee farm, she and her husband supported their family of four children through the Kocho trade. Kocho is a local staple source of carbohydrates that is made from a trunk of a false banana tree, called Enset – a crop that now allows both additional income and improved soil moisture.

Mrs Gemedech’s land in the famed Idedo region of Yirghacheffe (part of Ethiopia’s southern coffee growing region) is a garden farm where coffee is grown under a shade mixed with other fruits and food staples in a regenerative manner. Fallen leaves and coffee pulp hauled from local mills are the main source of compost. Enset trees (false Banana) across the farm collect water from the rainy season inside their trunks and release it to the ground during the dry season. This helps the soils retain moisture all year round.

This Guatemala is smoother than most, you’ll find notes of black pepper and chocolate. Perfect evening cup of coffee, if you’re into that sort of thing.

A quarter of the population in Guatemala are in some way involved with growing or processing coffee. Near the town of Jilotepeque in the Chimaltenango region, is the expansive farm of Finca El Retiro del Quisaya.

The farm was established 100 years ago by the Ortega family and was recently sold to the Arabigos del Sur organization. The name of the farm comes from a river that runs within the land.

During the harvest, the cherries are carefully handpicked and delivered to the mill located on the farm. After sorting, the cherries are pulped with an eco-pulper to remove the external fruit and fermented in aerobic tanks for 14 hours. The beans are then washed and put through a centrifuge machine to remove any remaining mucilage. They are then dispersed on patios to dry in the open sun for ten days.

The young cooperative’s leadership is unusually committed to its success: former members who have secured their own export licenses to market their coffee directly continue to serve on its board or in management roles to help their community, understanding the cooperative’s value for improving the incomes and livelihoods of its members.

This naturally processed, single varietal SL34 lot is from from Kamundu Estate in Kiambu, Kenya. Kamundu is a 155ha coffee farm first established by British colonists but is now one of 6 estates owned and operated by Sasini, a publicly listed company with a majority Kenyan ownership.

Sasini’s estates have long placed an emphasis on equity and community. In the case of the estates’ workers this involves the provision of living quarters, early child education, union membership and guaranteed payment above minimum wage. In collaboration with importers, they have also been able to invest further in the local primary school Njenga Karume. This has principally been through the building of a new computer lab to equip students with the IT skillset to maximise their oppotunities in an increasingly digital world.
