Baroida Estate was founded by Ben Colbran in the 1960’s and today is run by his son Nicol. The name ‘Baroida’ comes from the Baroida spirit, believed by locals to reside in a large rock sitting in one of the main rivers flowing through the estate.

 

Meticulous separation for quality control helps maintain the high quality of the estate’s coffee. After careful sorting, cherry is pulped on disk puplers. Then it dry-ferments in vats for approximately 36 hours. Water is pumped into the vats in a circular motion to naturally agitate the coffee and remove any remaining mucilage. Coffee is then sun-dried on tarps, where it is turned regularly to ensure even drying.

 

This coffee has a super buttery mouthfeel – paired with maple, honey, and lightly pungent forest tones. It’s one of those coffees that will keep you coming back for more! The texture, round acidity, and balance all make this a high-quality cup.

Cafe La Sierrita is a coffee comprised of producers within the Giraldo region of Antioquia. The lot is carefully constructed at the buying station, with every single lot individually cupped various times before being included. The first time a coffee is cupped is when the producer brings a sample or lot down to the buying station. Upon initial approval, the lot is packed in grain-pro and a new sample is taken and brought back to the main lab in Medellin, where a full physical and cup quality analysis is performed. Upon approval, the actual lot is delivered to the mill where it is cupped a third time to ensure consistency in regards to previous analyses. Antioquia has historically been known as a volume region, but in fact has the same capability of producing high-quality coffees found in the rest of the country. Cafe La Sierrita represents the hard workd of dedicated producers whom are fairly compensated with the highest prices in town. This is the 2nd year we have sourced this coffee.

Sitting at 1,840 masl, Finca El Paraiso consists of 14 hectares: 7 are part of a natural reserve and the other 7 hectares currently produce coffee, 70% of which is the Caturra variety for specialty lots. In order to keep the quality consistent, only the ripest cherries are picked and once they arrive to the wet mill, they are floated to remove any potential under ripe, over ripe or poorly formed beans that were picked. After floating, the coffee is fermented in cherry for 24 hours, de-pulped and then dry fermented an additional 36 hours. After washing, the coffee is dried in a parabolic dryer, anywhere from 18-25 days, depending on the climate. Hands down, Ernedis has some of the best practices around, and the way this coffee retains its quality over time is incredible. We have sourced this coffee for several years in a row and look forward to building on this partnership.

Perched high up in the southern foothills of Mount Kenya on rich red volcanic soil, the growing areas surrounding the Karimikui factory are ideal for producing some of the finest
Kenyan coffee. Farmers have been delivering cherry to the Karimikui factory since it first opened in 1966. In 1997, the factory left a large umbrella farmers’ cooperative society
(FCS) and joined the Rungeto FCS, which manages just two other factories. At the Karimikui factory, only the ripest cherries are delivered, and additional hand sorting and floating are done to remove less dense and damaged beans before the coffee is depulped, fermented and washed. After the coffee is washed, it’s soaked in fresh water for long periods of time to solidify the hallmark Kenyan profiles. The coffee is dried over
a period of two weeks on raised beds, which are carefully constructed to ensure proper air circulation and temperature control for optimal drying.

The Kibingo Washing station was built in 1986 in the Kayanza province of northern Burundi. The name ‘Kibingo’ comes from the Kirundi word ‘urubingo’ which means ‘reeds’. Reeds were planted along the river that runs through the washing station to contain the water and to prevent the surrounding soils from eroding. This washing station collects cherries from over 2,750 local coffee farmers spread over the 18 neighboring hills. During the harvest season Kibingo processes more than 650 tons of coffee. This coffee is a fruit bomb that is sure to delight. You’ll find lively aromatics of bubblegum, raspberry, and quite a rainbow of flavors: strawberry, raspberry, tangerine, white grape, and floral tones. In addition to being incredibly yummy, sales from this coffee have contributed to farmers in a few specific projects: livestock distribution, health insurance, and solar panel installation.
