• Black tea notes
• Grapefruit and pineapple

Processing: Washed

Altitude: 2350 masl

Price paid to the Farmer: ETB 24 / kg cherry

FOB: USD 7.49 / kg

Importer: Nordic Approach

Rob says: While West Arsi and Yirgacheffe gave us a super start this Ethiopia season, we notice the Guji region is taking over in summer with one killer coffee after another. The BUKU SAYISA is new to us and maybe the highest picked coffee we ever bought!!

This lot is from Buku, a district of Hambela Wamena in the broader Guji Zone. This coffee has been picked at maturity with the strict supervision from the farmer Mr.Esayas Beriso. The farm supplies to SNAP coffee exporters.

Buku is one of the highest elevated coffee growing areas in Ethiopia with an altitude of 2,350 meters above sea level. The farm plots are scattered and the terrain is uneven, so farmers deliver cherry on horseback.

Kenya Muranga KAGUMOINI PB

• Rich and fat bodied
• Chocolate and Colanut notes
• Peachy sweetness with a citrus finish

Processing: Washed

Screen Size: Peaberry

Packaging: 30kg Vac Packs

Exporter: Kenyacof

Importer: Sucafina Specialty

Rob says: KAGUMOINI is a Caffenation classic and back in our line up after an 8 year drought! It took so long cause there’s high demand all over the world for this coffee which is a great example of top quality coffee for this wonderful region.

Kagumoini is located at a perfect microclimate on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya at an altitude of 1750 meters. The coffee trees grow on rich volcanic soil: Perfect conditions for flavoursome coffee.

There are a lot of discussions whether Kagumoini is located in Muranga or Nyeri county. We think it’s almost on the borderline between both, but more in Muranga, nearby the award winning Kiriani station.

THIS COFFEE IS GOING TO BE ON AND OFF OUR LINE UP AND ALSO IN OUR KENYAN CAPSULES WE ARE GOING TO LAUCH AS X-MAS SPECIALS.
