Whole-bean specialty coffee from Kenya, roasted by MAMAM roasting brand. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. The flavour of the brew resembles passion fruit, raspberry and pink grapefruit.Origin: KenyaRegion: KiganjoFarm: Ndundu FactoryVariety: SL-28, SL-34Processing: WashedAltitude: 2000 m a.s.l.Cupping score: 88 / 100 ABOUT THE FARMThe affiliate members of the co-op are required to be extremely diligent to carry out all agronomic activities associated with high quality coffee production, including sourcing coffee seeds from the Coffee Research Institute?s Coffee Research Station. Planting and cultivating is implemented according to the guidelines submitted by the group leaders and technical advisors. Fieldwork involves weeding, pruning, application of fertiliser, mulching and technical advice. Technical advice is offered through farmer training programs and field visits offered by the ministry of agriculture.As for the rest of the coop in the Ndundu factory all coffee cherries are handpicked and are delivered to the mill the same day, where they will get rigourously sorted through floatation tanks, whilst factory employees oversee the process and any under ripe or damaged cherries will not be accepted by the “Cherry Clerk”, who keeps meticulous records of how much coffee each producer delivers on any given day and thus how much payment is due once the coffee has been sold.PB means peaberry. Peaberry is the name given to a very specific shape of coffee bean, which is the result of a natural mutation of the coffee cherry. While there are usually two beans in each fruit, a cherry with a peaberry mutation produces only one rounder bean. Peaberry mutations occur in approximately 5% of all coffee varieties. These beans are known for being rounder, smaller, and denser, which, when handled correctly, can contribute to a more even roast color.PROCESSINGCoffee cherries are carefully handpicked at peak ripeness by smallholder farmers and delivered to the factory for processing. The cherries undergo a Fully washed method, where they are first sorted, then pulped to remove the outer skin. Parchment is then fermented in concrete tanks for 12 to 24 hours, depending on temperature and climate conditions, to break down the mucilage. After fermentation, parchment is washed through grading channels using fresh water. During the peak season, parchment may be soaked in clean, circulating water for up to 24 hours before being transferred to raised beds for drying. The drying process lasts 5 to 21 days , with workers frequently turning the parchment and covering it during the hottest part of the day to ensure even drying and prevent defects.VARIETYSL28 is one of the best known and most respected African varieties. From Kenya, where it was originally selected in the 1930s, it has spread to other parts of Africa (it is particularly important in the Arabica growing areas of Uganda) and now to Latin America. The variety is suitable for medium to high altitudes and is drought tolerant, but susceptible to the main coffee diseases. SL28 is characterised by rusticity, a trait that means it can be left untended for several years or even decades and then return to successful production. Many parts of Kenya have SL28 trees that are 60-80 years old and still productive. The variety was selected at the former Scott Agricultural Laboratories (now the National Agricultural Laboratories, NARL, located in Kabete). The individual tree selections made at Scott Laboratories between 1935 and 1939 were prefixed with SL. There were 42 in total and they were examined for yield, quality and resistance to drought and disease. Recent genetic tests have confirmed that SL28 is related to the Bourbon genetic group. It has become valued for its sweet, complex flavour with vinous undertones.SL34 was originally selected in Kenya in the late 1930s at Scott Agricultural Laboratories. It is very susceptible to major diseases such as coffee rust, coffee berry blight and coffee berry disease. Therefore, proper disease control and prevention strategies are essential for its successful cultivation. Recent genetic tests have shown that SL34 is related to the Typica genetic group. The variety is known for its exceptional cup quality, full body and pleasant acidity.ROASTER'S OPINIONCrisp, acidic, and fruity. A prominent acidity balanced by the sweetness of ripe citrus fruits.

It is also a region with a difficult history, where despite many challenges local producers continue to develop and cultivate coffee of the highest quality. This lot was produced as part of the Black Condor Project – an initiative supporting more than 100 independent farmers through fair pricing, training, and access to modern processing infrastructure.The project is led by Emmanuel, a producer raised in a family with a multi-generational coffee tradition. In 2016, together with his family, he established a central processing station to help farmers from more than 15 nearby villages process their coffee in a controlled, quality-focused way. This approach allows for a consistent and clean sensory profile while also significantly increasing the income of the local community. Farmers are offered prices up to 18–20% higher than the market average, and regular workshops on fermentation, drying, and cupping help continuously improve production standards.ABOUT COFFEEColombia La Roma undergoes a classic washed process, which highlights the natural clarity and elegance of Colombian varieties such as Caturra and Castillo. Careful cherry selection, controlled fermentation, and slow drying contribute to a balanced and harmonious flavor profile.In the cup, this coffee offers notes of chocolate and almonds that create a sweet, creamy base. These are complemented by hints of red fruits, bringing freshness and a delicate fruity acidity. The cup is smooth and velvety, with a pleasant, lingering finish. It is an exceptionally versatile coffee that works beautifully as espresso, where its chocolate-nut depth stands out, and equally well in filter methods, where its fruitier and more complex character becomes more pronounced.Colombia La Roma from the KAFAR roastery is an example of classic Colombian specialty coffee – balanced, elegant, and full of character, while also representing the story of the people who are building the future of their communities through coffee.Store in a cold and dry space.

It is located in the Kirinyaga region, Kagumo area, at the foothills of Mount Kenya. Coffee cherries are delivered to it by over 1,700 small-scale producers who grow coffee mainly on small plots of land.The crops are situated at an altitude of approximately 1,700–1,800 meters above sea level. The region is characterized by red volcanic soils, good access to water, and conditions that favor slower ripening of the fruit. Longer ripening can support the development of sweetness, acidity, and a more complex sensory profile.This is a classic Kenyan production model: small farms, a central washing station, fruit selection, and a consistently managed process. Simple. Effective. Good.ABOUT THE VARIETYThe dominant varieties are SL28 and SL34. These are classic Kenyan Arabica varieties, valued for their high sensory potential, especially in terms of vibrant acidity, fruitiness, and the structure of the brew.Batian and Ruiru 11 may also appear in smaller quantities, which are varieties introduced, among other reasons, for the plants' greater resistance to diseases. However, the character of this coffee is primarily built by SL28 and SL34.ABOUT THE PROCESSINGAfter harvest, the coffee cherries are delivered to the station and sorted. Then, the skin and part of the pulp are removed from the fruit, and the beans undergo fermentation, washing, and drying on raised beds. In the case of Mugaya, clean water from the Rwamuthambi River is used in the process.The washed process allows for limiting the influence of the pulp on the coffee's flavor and better showcases the natural acidity, cleanliness of the aroma, and structure of the brew.RECIPERatio: 60 g of coffee per 1 liter of waterWater temperature: 93°CGrind: mediumBrewing time: 3:30 minutesMethod: Pour water over the coffee in 5 equal parts (e.g., 5x 60g) at 30-second intervals.The water should completely drain through the coffee between pours.If the water flows too slowly or too quickly, change the grind size to coarser/finer.Remember to use soft, filtered water!Store in a dry and cool place.

Coffee cultivation is usually managed by family members, rarely hiring out external workers. 70% of the population wears traditional clothing, and 46% of the producers are women producers.Before the arrival of Spanish conquerors, Tzeltal indigenous people settled in the actual Tzajalchen area. The Aztecan people came and lived here, but in the 16th century, Dominican Friars started to colonize the area. In 1712 Tzeltal people started to rebel against the Dominican people, resulting in the entirety of the population today being the Tzeltal indigenous people.Pedro's father, along with his three brothers, initially grew corn and beans. There weren't any coffee trees planted in the farm. More than 30 years ago, a program of INMECAFE (El Instituto Mexicano del Café) arrived in Tzajalchen and brought coffee seeds of Bourbon and Caturra to plant, and that's how they started coffee cultivation in the area. About 20 years ago, his father handed over the farm to him and his two brothers, then Mr. Pedro began to work organically with his wife and his son. He produced 15 quintales from his 1-ha farm, and bought three more hectares. Now his farm is 4-has and continues to maintain organic practices.The harvest is picked by hand, selecting only 100% ripe cherries, and is usually done in 4 picking sessions per season. Pulping is done on the same day of the harvest, and the coffee is then fermented for 10-16 hours. The drying continues for 3-4 days thanks to the sunny climate on the roof of the house.V60 RECIPE16g of coffee250g of water 96°CMedium Grind Size 1.

Whole-bean specialty coffee from Peru, roasted by MAMAM roasting brand. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. The flavour of the brew resembles orange flowers, mango and melon.Origin: PeruRegion: CajamarcaFarm: Juver SantacruzVariety: Red & Yellow Caturra, BourbonProcessing: WashedAltitude: 2000 m a.s.l.Cupping score: 89 / 100 ABOUT THE FARMTwo brothers are the protagonists of this lot: Jesus and Lizandro Llatas Santacruz. They live in Queromarca, a small town in the Callayuc district, province of Cutervo and Cajamarca region. Callayuc has all the conditions to grow fantastic coffee: fertile soils, altitude that range from 1600 to 2000 masl, good cup varieties (mainly red and yellow Caturra, but also bourbon, Typica) but it is more and more affected by droughts. So farmers have had to adjust to the conditions and as a consequence the use of water is limited. On top of that, they have been fermenting their coffees into closed environments (often thick plasticbags under shade) to allow yeasts to form and add a distinctive fruity profile to their cups. Of course they supervise the levels of fermentation to avoid defects.The story of the Santacruz brothers fits within many farmers in Peru as they used to sell their entire crops to local buyers that would arrive at their farm door and take the bags away at a cheap price. Now they deliver their coffee to Cultivar, where after through quality control they receive a much higher price for it. This gap in price is a great help in their income that they complement with growing cattle. Cajamarca is very well known for its cattle culture, providing the region with an abundant amount of cheese, milk and beef.As for the future of the Santacruz family and their coffee business we have very good hopes. Jesus, one of the brothers, has recently bought a few extra hectares of land with the idea to plant more exotic and delicate varieties like Geisha and he is a good representation of the younger generation of farmers that will take the lead in the coffee production in the years to come in Cajamarca.ROASTER'S OPINIONSuper floral and sweet coffee that reminds us slightly of the Geisha botanical variety, even though it isn't one.RECIPE V6016g of coffee250g of water 96°CMedium Grind Size 1.

Whole-bean specialty coffee from Kenya, roasted by Bracia Ziółkowscy roasting brand. Light roast, perfect for filter coffee machines, drippers, Chemex, AeroPress, French Press, and other pour-over brewing methods. The brew resembles the flavour of raspberry, cherry and caramel.Origin: KenyaRegion: KirinyagaFarm: InoiVariety: SL 28, SL 34, Batian, Ruiru 11Processing: WashedAltitude: 1650-1800 m a.s.l.Cupping score: 86 / 100ABOUT THE REGIONKaguyu Factory is a washing station located in the Kirinyaga region, on the fertile, volcanic slopes of Mount Kenya. Situated at an altitude of 1750–1800 m a.s.l., it benefits from excellent coffee-growing conditions: abundant rainfall, fertile red soils, and the cool climate characteristic of the surroundings of the country's highest peak.Kaguyu belongs to the Inoi Farmers Cooperative Society. Coffee is delivered here by smallholders, who usually own a few hundred coffee trees each. This model is typical for Kenya — instead of large plantations, thousands of small family farms dominate. Combined with specialized washing stations, it allows maintaining a very high level of selection and raw material quality.ABOUT THE PROCESSINGThe coffee is processed using the fully washed method with double fermentation, which is classic for Kenya. Carefully selected cherries reach the station on the very same day after harvesting. After depulping, the beans undergo overnight fermentation, then they are washed in sorting channels, soaked for another 24–48 hours in clean water, and dried on raised beds. It is this precise processing that is responsible for the clarity of flavor and high sweetness characteristic of the best Kenyan coffees.ROASTER'S OPINIONSweet and refreshing. A bit like blackberry jam, a bit like currant juice. And all of this with a subtle hint of caramel.Store in a cool, dry place.
