This coffee comes to us via Mountain Harvest, a company working to improve the quality of Ugandan coffee while making the communities that grow it more sustainable. This coffee is a special peaberry selection from farms on Mount Elgon. Peaberries occur when one seed develops inside a coffee fruit instead of two. Sorting them out is extra work, but it’s worth it for their dynamic and sweet flavors. We taste apricot, black tea, and coconut.

Yemen’s port of Mokha has played a vital role in the global spread of coffee, and its farms preserve a rich diversity of unique and delicious coffee varieties that are well adapted to harsh climates. Despite this history, most coffee drinkers haven't tasted Yemeni coffee. Years of war have made sourcing it very challenging. However, with the support of our Yemen-based export partner, Mokha Story, we have established a purchasing relationship with Hassan Assalol, a farmer in Eastern Haraz.

The Java variety has a long history, with its genetic origins traced to regional landraces in western Ethiopia. As a variety known for producing high quality, the team at Finca Aurora has experimented with anaerobic processing to further accentuate Java’s unique potential. When done well, coffees processed in this way often result in profiles that are more fruit-forward and vibrant than their traditionally-washed counterparts. This particular convergence of genetics and anaerobic processing produced one of the most unique coffees we've tasted from Nicaragua.

We’re once again sharing this lot as a dark-roasted single origin as a nod to our many customers who prefer this style of roasting.

On the slopes of Guatemala’s Acatenango volcano, Finca La Hermosa’s fertile soils and native canopy nurture a diverse range of varieties, including an entire “Gesha forest.” From this Gesha, farm owners Max & Claudia utilized three distinct processing techniques–washed, honey, and natural sundried–to highlight the full range of complex, nuanced flavors.

Fundochamba is a small mountain community just outside of Quilanga in Ecuador’s Loja province. We purchase from a group of 14 growers in this area who have worked together to steadily improve quality and connect with the specialty market. This year, the group dedicated a small portion of their volume to a prolonged fermentation experiment. After pulping, this coffee was fermented in a cool, low-oxygen environment for about 72 hours. The resulting cup offers intricate fruit complexity and sweetness. We taste dark-fruit notes of concord grape and black cherry, swimming in a sweet, syrupy body.

Our favorite coffees are often produced in the most stunning of settings, and the highlands of southern Oaxaca are no exception. Producers from this area have largely decided to keep their small plots planted with traditional varieties that were among the first coffee plants brought to the Americas. Well-adapted to this climate, these varieties have long contributed to Oaxacan coffee’s renowned elegance and sweetness. Look for flavors of raisin and chocolate layered atop this coffee's silky body. Pronunciation: REE-oh day…
