Guatemala - Finca Aguas Altas (227 g)

Prepared on the Malabar coast during monsoon season. This rare and unusual bean takes 12-16 weeks of meticulous preparation. Growers pick the coffees, and lay them out in coastal sheds, where they absorb moisture from the windy air and increase in size. Notes: Floral & sweet, with spicey, earthy tones

From the Mchana Estate farm in Ruiru, Kiambu County - the largest single coffee farm in Kenya, this fully washed bean boasts some massive juicy flavours!   In 1950, the farm was acquired by an individual named Jas Nicoll.  He purchased 4 neighbouring farms in the area: N'gewe Estate, Kiki Estate, Mukuyu Estate and Mchana Estate, amalgamating them all into one entity - the Mchana Estata Coffee Farm.  Employing over 350 workers, all of which live on the grounds, the farm now produces over 2 tonnes per hectare. This rich and full bodied African feels like a very complete cup, balanced and rounded yet unique in flavour.  Sweet, tart notes of blood orange and currant followed by deep, toasty notes of roasted cocoa.   

This fully washed Red Bourbon Arabica is grown on the slope of the San Salvador Volcano in Canton Alvarez. High winds sway the trees and allow just the right amount of sunlight over this shade-grown crop.

Famous for its elevation and rich volcanic soil, Kona coffee is considered one of the most unique sources of Arabica coffee in the world.  From the renowned Mountain Thunder plantation in Kailua, this Kona bean boasts extremely chocolatey and nutty flavour notes.
