These beans represent a curated amalgam of coffees from the country’s three premier growing regions: Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Selected specifically for its clean profile.
This coffee is cultivated by smallholder farmers at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 meters above sea level. Unlike many regions that have transitioned almost exclusively to disease-resistant modern hybrids, this lot maintains a genetic base largely comprised of traditional varieties such as Bourbon, Typica, and Mundo Novo. While these older varieties are generally lower-yielding and more susceptible to leaf rust, they are preserved in these high-altitude zones because they offer a superior cup quality compared to heartier hybrids. Much of this production comes from the buffer zones surrounding the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, where shade-grown coffee managed by local cooperatives has become essential for environmental conservation and economic stability following the dissolution of state-run support systems in previous decades.

Torch Coffee (Yunnan, China), who are masters of funky natural processed coffees, started working with a small coffee factory in Nyeri with the aim of producing boutique natural and anaerobic natural coffee offerings. After many test batches, this is their first anerobic natural top lot. A beautiful & very exotic, different tasting coffee. If you have not had anaerobic natural offerings before, be in for something new. The cup is filled with sweet fruity and slightly boozy tones.
Nyeri is perhaps the most well-known of the central counties. Kenya’s coffee is dominated by a cooperative system of production, whose members vote on representation, marketing and milling contracts for their coffee, as well as profit allocation. This specific coffee is brought to us by the dedicated smallholder farmers delivering to the Ruiruiru factory, which operates under the Rutuma Farmers Cooperative Society in the Mathira North area of Nyeri County. The region is fed by rivers that originate in the Aberdare mountain range, to Nyeri’s west. The cool air and precipitation from these mountains are a major contributor to Nyeri’s coveted coffee terroir, providing not just legendary volcanic soil, but the ideal, stable climate needed for the slow, controlled drying required to perfect this premium anaerobic natural coffee.

This coffee comes to us from producer Ivan Junqueira Ribeiro, owner of Fazenda Cruzeiro, a farm in Brazil’s Campo das Vertentes region. The farm, established in 1923, spans a total of 1,021 hectares of which 381 are planted in Red Catuai, Yellow Bourbon, Mundo Novo, Topázio, Arara, and Rubi. Cherries here are picked ripe using both mechanical and manual harvesting techniques. After harvesting, cherries are moved to a cement patio for drying.
Brazilian microlots are a relatively new entry into the world of specialty coffee, compared to larger-scale farming operations that are common here. Our microlots are typically either a small selection of specialized coffee kept separate from the total volume of coffee a single estate produces, or they are sourced from the many smallholder producers (10–30 hectares) that exist throughout our usual sourcing regions. Microlots are expected to have both the highest level of quality and, subsequently, the highest tier of pricing.

All coffee bearing the Carpenter Estate name is grown at over 5000 feet elevation. All of their Estates considers soil and water conservation as a priority, and, the plantation is very eco-friendly. The plantation employs a medium density shade strategy, using two types of shade trees. This promotes even ripening of coffee cherries and provides habitat for at least 90 species of birds.
These are washed processed Arabica coffees. Quality Control begins in the field; Cherry coffee is hand-picked and carefully checked for uniformity; it must be red and fully ripe which allows for the correct balance of sugar and acid within the cherry. This selected cherry is then pulped on the day of picking.

Colombian BCT Select is a coffee that exquisitely embodies the classic Colombian profile: a clean, balanced cup that is remarkably versatile in roasting. It originates from small-scale producers belonging to coffee-growing communities across Colombia, where the coffee is typically cultivated, harvested, and processed on family-run farms. For lots of this type, the producers’ efforts are complemented by a support network comprising regional cooperatives and the National Federation of Coffee Growers entities that provide assistance with logistics, storage, technical support, and market access.
This particular lot is prepared in the Excelso EP style. The term “Excelso” does not designate a specific variety, but rather a traditional classification of Colombian coffee based on bean size, intended for export purposes; meanwhile, “EP” stands for “European Preparation” a more meticulous sorting process designed to eliminate defects and impurities, thereby ensuring a more uniform appearance and a cleaner cup.

Much of Kenyan coffee is produced in more arid regions. As you get a little father away from Mt Kenya, the climate dried up quickly. Kirinyaga is one of the most lush environments in Kenya, quite jungle like and as many know, good rainfall and plenty of shade often makes the tastiest cup.
Growing the coffee is only half the battle to producing stellar coffee. What separates Kenya for most other producing nations is the way it organizes farmers into Farmer Cooperative Societies (FCS), basically every farmer, large or small, is connected to internal infostructure that gives them the support, knowledge and tools to grow the best coffee. These FCS’s are all locally owned, organized and run, letting them adopt to their microclimates and individual needs.
The last part, and equally as important but a little highly debated if good or bad, is the finally step in coffee production, the dry milling and auction system. Almost all Kenya coffees funnels through three processors, only one being owned by the Kenyans themselves. The good behind this, Kenya dry mills have some of the most impressive technology and facilities to produce absolutely stellar lots.
