Finca Lerida is a 900-acre estate purchased by Sonia Amoruso's family in 2009. It is located in the famed Boquete growing region, nestled under the ecological wonderland of Volcan Buru National Park, where over 550 species of birds make their home. This estate is renowned for producing high-quality artisan coffee, and a vintage hotel with amenities that equal the natural beauty serves as a landmark to more than 100 years of coffee history and a source of tourism income.
The estate has a mill where cherries are still sorted to remove under ripe and damaged beans using the siphon invented by the original owner in the 1920s. After sorting, the coffee is de-pulped, fermented, washed, and carefully dried on covered patios and raised beds. Sonia works with 30 year-round employees and another 60 people who meticulously pick ripe cherries during the harvest. Finca Lerida provides housing and a school for the employees and their families.

Arrival Date: 10/14/19
Three brothers formed Roba and Family, and their mother’s coffee (Bedhatu Jibicho) has been a favorite in their artisan coffee selections every year. This particular lot is sourced from about 100 neighbors who cultivate coffee on small plots and contribute their cherry to the Roba family’s washing station. Upon arrival, cherries are carefully hand sorted, then de-pulped, fermented for 48 hours, and washed and classified again in channels. The parchment is placed on raised beds where it is hand sorted again and dried over a period of 12 to 15 days. As a family-owned business, their focus on social impact within the communities they source coffee from is taking shape. The Roba family has invested in more localized cherry collection sites to reduce transportation costs for small producers. They have also contributed to road construction projects that make travel for everyone a bit easier.

This artisan coffee was produced at La Casona wet mill, a micro mill operated by the Solis family. It's sourced from the family farm, the highest part actually, called "San Francisco 1900", a peak reaching just above 1900 meters. This particular lot is mechanically washed at their wet mill, a process which closely replicates traditional fermentation by stripping away most of the fruit using a special de-pulping machine that uses very little water. The parchment-covered seed is then soaked overnight in clean water before being laid to dry on the patios or raised beds. It's not quite the same as fermentation, and the minuscule amount of fruit left intact can lead to a more rounded cup, less pronounced acidity, and even fruited flavors. But when done well, the process is practically transparent and yields a crisp, clean coffee, which this lot is a testament to! The city of San Marcos is in the Talamanca Sierra highlands, with peaks reaching as high as 3000 meters. It's an ideal micro-region for artisan coffee growing, with rich volcanic soil, great altitude, and is shaded from the hot afternoon suns by mountain peaks.

This artisan coffee blend from Inzá is crafted from the producers of neighboring towns, or "veredas" as they're called in Colombia. The province of Inzá is located in Southwestern Colombia within the greater Department of Cauca. Like much of Colombia, Cauca boasts very high altitude farms, many exceeding the 2000 meter mark. The coffee from this lot is harvested from an altitude range of about 1500 to 2000 meters. Our process for creating these regional coffee blends involves cupping several samples from individual farms, selecting those that meet a specific cup criteria, and then expertly blending them together. This meticulous approach not only benefits us but significantly enhances the cup quality of our Colombian blends. This is a small batch coffee that is wet-processed, with most farmers using traditional hand-cranked pulpers, fermentation, and washing done in the same tank before drying out on raised, covered beds.

This artisan coffee comes from a newly-started mill in the small town of Tolajuk within the Luwu District. The town is located on the Eastern slopes of Mount Latimojong, home to the highest peak in Sulawesi. The folks who run the mill purchase coffee cherries from small holders in and around the village. Currently, they are processing two different styles of honey process coffee: yellow and red. This is the red variant, which involves submerging the whole cherry in barrels of water for a day to initiate fermentation. They then use a mechanical demucilage machine to peel the outer layer of the cherry, leaving much of the fruit intact for the drying period. The fruit dries to different hues of yellow or red based on how much of the fruit remains during processing, hence the names. This small batch coffee is dried on raised beds over approximately two weeks and is then stored in sealed bags to rest for about 30 days. The farms in this area span an altitude range of about 1250 to 1450 meters and are planted with Typica types and hybrids including Jember, S-795, and Lini-S.

The altitude of the washing station is just shy of 1750 meters, with coffee being grown up to 2000 meters. We strive to support societies that regularly produce some of the best Kenya coffees we encounter, discovering new small batch coffee options each year, just like Gura. This coffee was purchased directly, bypassing the Kenya auction system to mitigate the risk of losing it. We pay a higher price than the top auction bid to secure the exact lot we desire. While AA typically commands the highest premium, we found this AB lot from Gura to offer a brighter cup.

$0.10 of every pound of Kageyo purchased will be donated to the Kageyo buildout project, allowing them to increase their annual capacity and serve more farmers in this district.
The artisan coffee washing station Kageyo lies in the highlands surrounding the southeastern shores of Lake Kivu in Rwanda's Ngororero district. Kageyo was the 1st place winner of Rwanda's Cup of Excellence coffee competition in 2011. However, beyond this achievement, the cooperative faced challenges, taking out a bank loan to build a new wet mill, which made it difficult to repay due to low harvests and insufficient mill capacity. A private exporter stepped in to assist, purchasing the wet mill while maintaining the farmer cooperative structure. This arrangement has benefited the coop by absolving them of their loan debt, establishing a direct connection with the specialty market through a reliable export partner, and retaining a completely transparent supply chain. However, they still need capital to expand their milling infrastructure and increase their production capabilities. By purchasing this small batch coffee, you are contributing to this project (a donation is made for every pound sold). The association comprises small farmers situated around this 2000 meter wet mill, with coffee in the region being cultivated at some of the highest altitudes we purchase in all of Rwanda. As is typical in Rwanda, the coffee planted in the region is predominantly Bourbon variety. We created this lot by combining the best day lot batches. It's important to note that this should not be confused with "Kigeyo," a name you may recognize from other cafe menus. These 44 bags consist of Lots 381 and 382, day lot separations curated based on identical cup profiles.
This lot from Kageyo excels in both light and dark roast applications, with the cup showcasing a delightful balance of raw sugar sweetness and complex cocoa and spice notes. At City roast, the dry fragrance reveals toasted sugars with a dark, caramelized brown sugar scent reminiscent of sticky buns. As it approaches Full City, a transition to darker cocoa roast tones occurs, accompanied by a subtle dried fruit accent. The wet aroma presents a wonderful honey note, with spiced tea scents released in the steam when breaking through the crust. In the brewed coffee, layers of raw sugar and clove spice are tightly woven together when the cup is piping hot. As it cools, these layers are revealed one at a time, uncovering flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, cane juice, clove, and more. A tea-like brightness is especially prominent at City and City+ roast levels, enhancing the cup profile and contributing to a tannic finish. Middle roasts develop a chocolate undertone, culminating in flavors of chocolate raisin and dried blueberry. Both light and dark roasts are truly delicious! Espresso shots at Full City deliver syrupy chocolate notes and a lovely dark grape accent, creating a remarkable single origin espresso.
