"True character!” - Miguel, Trustpilot

We source this grade one micro lot coffee from smallholder farms in the Banko Michicha district of Guji. Its delicate, floral orange blossom and red wine characters are allowed to shine, thanks to this being the lightest roast of our range.

Once the coffee is picked it goes through a special wine process, so-called because the techniques involved have been borrowed from the wine industry. First, coffee cherries are sorted to select only the ripest for processing, before being sealed in oxygen-deprived stainless steel tanks for fermentation.

Fermentation time is dictated by temperature readings inside the tank, but typically the process lasts for 4 - 5 days, after which the cherries are dried in the traditional way: on raised African beds for 15 - 18 days.
