  • Coffee

    • Shamba

      Kirundo, muyinga, burundi; white grape, lemon curd, caramel, assam tea. Angèle ciza, producer, bourbon grown at 1650-1750 masl. Burundi is one of the smallest coffee producing countries in east africa. The country has seen great reforms in the coffee sector since 1992 when the government decided to remove itself from direct management of farms and washing stations. With ideal growing conditions and the strong presence of the bourbon variety, many entrepreneurs have taken on the task of bringing burundi's exquisite and under-represented coffees to the attention of the specialty coffee market. Kahawa link company (kalico) was founded by two such women, angele ciza and consolata ndayishimiye, in 2012. They are in charge of seven washing stations in northeastern burundi near the borders of rwanda and tanzania. Our coffee is processed at the shamba washing station, and grown in the kirundo and muyinga provinces. This is our second year offering shamba, and we love it for its elegant cup profile.

La gloria estate comes from barú indian high, a family company which was founded by domingo suarez in the 1920s. Having immigrated to panama from the middle east and spain respectively, domingo and his wife antonia serrano decided to start their coffee business following the construction of the panama canal. After a trend to centralize picking deteriorated cup quality in the 1940s, their son vidal suarez decided to reclaim the single estate cup identities. In order to do this, he bought the land for beneficio don pedro in 1987, where all seven barú indian high estates currently process their coffee. He and his brothers began exporting in 1989. They acquired la gloria in 1985, which is comprised of 70% typica variety, and 30% caturra and catuai.the Estate is located in horqueta, boquete and is named after the region's second tallest mountain (after the barú volcano).

    • Mutwari

      Mbeya, tanzania; cranberry, vanilla, mango, bergamot. Multiple small producers; tembo dry mill. Tanzania is a paradise for coffee growing. The country is filled with the french mission bourbon varieties that have made kenya famous, and indian kent varieties that came over from mysore in the 1920s. With most farm elevations nearing 2000 masl, the stage is set for syrupy, fruit-forward, full bodied coffee. It seems that tanzania's popularity in the coffee world is almost synonymous with the peaberry variety. This offering from mutwari in the mbeya region is one of those very special peaberries. The mbeya region is home to about 400,000 small holder farmers, many of whom practice subsistence farming. The mutwari pb comes from 70 producer groups in the southern highlands. All of the coffee is hand picked and processed either at the central pulpery unit or on small home pulping machines. All farmers contributing to this lot adhere to strict quality standards before the parchment is delivered to tembo coffee (dry mill) where further green sorting and grading takes place. 12oz whole beans.

    • Remera

      Nyamagabe, rwanda; vanilla blossom, maple candy, tamarind, blackberry. Bufcafe, producer; bourbon grown at 1850 masl. Washed. Shipped in grainpro. Rwanda is a new growing region for us, and we're excited to present this terrific lot from bufcafe as our first ever rwandan coffee on the menu. This country has had quite a remarkable turnaround after years of conflict and the horrific genocide in 1994. As the nation began rebuilding in the late 1990s, agriculture, and in particular the coffee industry, received increased attention and investment, and washing stations (coffee wet mills) can now be found throughout the country. Bufcafe is a renowned family-owned coffee company in the nyamagabe region run by epiphanie muhirwa. She oversees the company with the help of her son sam, who runs the daily operation of the dry mill and two washing stations, one of which is the remera washing station. At one of the highest elevations in the country, remera is producing some of the finest coffee in rwanda and has placed in multiple cup of excellence competitions. Coffee is processed at remera with a 8-12 hour fermentation, followed by a secondary 24-hour soak, and then dried on raised beds which promote even drying. Unlike many other producing countries in east africa who have introduced new coffee cultivars, rwanda has by and large held onto older, classic varieties. This lot is 100% bourbon.
