This coffee is balanced and sweet with notes of cherry and cocoa.
Varietal: Caturra | Castillo | Colombia
Processing: Washed | EA Decaf
This coffee comes from the Huila region of Colombia, which is well- known for producing specialty coffee. Its unique location between the Central and Eastern Andes boasts ideal conditions for growing complex, high-quality coffees.
The cherries are carefully harvested when ripe, pulped, dry-fermented, then washed with fresh water. The clean parchment is then transferred for drying. The method of decaffeination used for this coffee is called the Ethyl Acetate (EA) method, which selectively removes caffeine while preserving the coffee’s natural character. EA is an occurring ester (present in bananas and also as a by-product of sugar cane processing) that is used as a solvent to bond with and remove caffeine from green coffee. First, the coffee is sorted and steamed for 30 minutes under low pressure in order to open the coffee seeds’ pores and prepare them for decaffeination. The coffee is then placed in a solution of water and EA, where the EA bonds with the caffeine inside the seeds. The tank is drained and re-filled repeatedly over the course of eight hours until caffeine is no longer detected. The seeds are steamed once more to remove any traces of EA.
The resulting coffee is clean, sweet and retains the profile of coffees from the Huila region, pleasingly uninhibited by the EA process.

Varietal: SL28 | SL34
Processing: Washed
This coffee comes from Mbuti Farm, a small estate in Kirinyaga County, Central Kenya, owned by Ngaari Mwangi. Established in 1997, the farm was one of the first in the region to have its own washing station, allowing Ngaari full control over processing and traceability. Situated near Njukiini Forest at 1,750 meters above sea level, the farm benefits from rich soils and a climate well-suited to producing high-quality coffee.
The cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness and pulped on-site, then fermented for 12–24 hours in small tanks before being washed with fresh stream water to remove all remaining mucilage. The beans are dried on raised beds in the sun for 7–15 days, with regular turning to ensure even drying and to preserve the coffee’s clarity and quality.
The cup is bright, vibrant, and juicy, with the classic Kenyan profile. The meticulous attention to processing and sustainable cultivation at Mbuti Farm results in a coffee that truly showcases the elegance and complexity of a classic Kenyan AA Grade coffee.

Varietal: Batian | Ruiru 11 | SL28 | SL34
Processing: Washed
This coffee comes from Kieni Factory, a washing station near Karatina in Nyeri County, Kenya, managed by the Mugaga Farmers’ Co-operative Society. Around 1,000 small-holder farmers deliver cherries here, with each farmer typically managing about 200 trees. The co-operative supports its members with resources to improve yields and encourages participation from women and young people, helping ensure that high-quality coffee can be produced sustainably across the region. The farm sits between 1,650 and 1,850 meters above sea level, an ideal environment for the famed Kenyan varieties SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11.
The cherries are hand-picked when ripe and carefully sorted to remove any damaged or under-ripe fruit. They are then pulped using disc pulpers, washed then fermented under water for 16–24 hours. The coffee is then rinsed and soaked for another 24 hours before being dried on raised beds. During drying, the beans are regularly turned and protected from excessive heat and rain, ensuring even drying and consistent quality.
The resulting cup is bright, clean, and complex. The meticulous care and expertise of the farmers and co-operative staff, deliver a coffee that showcases the best of Nyeri County.

This blend tastes great with milk.
The South of Minas Gerais (Sul de Minas) is responsible for 30% of Brazil’s total Arabica coffee production. The relatively flat landscape combined with high minimum wages has led most farms to opt for mechanical harvesting over selective hand-picking.
The majority of coffee in Brazil is processed naturally, where the fruit dries on the tree. The mechanical harvesters remove the ripe and dried fruit from the tree and transport it to concrete patios where the coffee is laid out to dry. Many coffee estates will use mechanical driers to finish the drying process evenly and accurately. State of the art colour sorting and density grading equipment enable high quality coffee by removing any discoloured, unhealthy or defective coffee beans.
The natural process makes this coffee rich, sweet and nutty with low acidity.

This blend is fruity and sweet. This is a blend of two stunning coffees from Ethiopia. The coffees of Ethiopia are famous for their complexity and intensity, which is due to the great biodiversity found amongst its coffee trees. High elevations and nutrient rich soil make Ethiopia an ideal coffee growing region.
This blend combines a washed and an unwashed coffee. The washed coffee brings the brightness and sweetness and the unwashed coffee adds complexity and fruitiness.

Bona Zuria (Washed - Bona Zuria, Bense, Sidamo)
Bona Zuria Washing Station sits at a staggering average altitude of 2,000 to 2,330 meters above sea level. These extraordinary altitudes were previously unsuitable for coffee production, but with recent changes in temperature due to climate change, the area is now an ideal location for high quality coffee cultivation. These ideal conditions help to create sweet, dense coffee fruit.

Alo Kebelle (Unwashed - Bembe Village, Bense, Sidamo)
Tamiru Tadesse founded Alo Coffee in 2020. He chose to operate in the Bense Region due to its high altitude and potential for specialty coffee production. This coffee is made up of small lots from local farmers. It is processed naturally, which means the cherries are hand-picked when ripe and placed directly onto raised drying beds. This process enables the coffee fruit to have a greater influence on the flavour of the coffee bean.
