This Kona is a milestone lot: the first Kona you’ve carried that is farmed organically, offering a classic island profile with an added layer of intention in how it is grown. Produced in the United States on Hawaii’s Big Island, it is grown around 600 masl (about 2,000 feet) and harvested by hand, then sun dried to preserve its clean, composed character. Kona is prized for its balance and its steady, polished structure, and this coffee is positioned to deliver that familiar elegance in a medium dark roast. At this roast level, the goal is a grounded cup with a fuller feel and a smooth finish, while keeping the profile refined rather than smoky or harsh. It is a strong choice for customers who want a dependable daily coffee that feels premium and complete, and it performs well across drip, pour over, and espresso. As an organic Kona, it also speaks to a more careful approach to farming without sacrificing the classic aroma and body Kona drinkers expect.

In the Marcala region of Honduras, this micro-lot natural is produced on the family-owned farmland known as 18 Rabbit, tended by Señora Flhor, her mother, and a wider circle of relatives who share stewardship of the land. The coffee is processed in a natural style—also called dry processing—where the cherry is left intact as it dries in the sun, allowing the fruit to shape the coffee’s character with minimal disruption. This method is often described as back-to-basics, and it can create a profile that feels sweeter and more expressive than a washed counterpart, with a texture that reads rounded and lively. The lot is built around red and yellow Catuai varieties grown at elevation in Marcala, then carefully dried to protect clarity while preserving the natural process signature. Roasted light, this coffee is designed to keep the cup vivid and articulate, highlighting brightness and lift while letting the natural processing contribute a fuller, more fruit-driven impression. It’s a strong choice for customers who want an origin-forward coffee that feels playful, aromatic, and distinctly crafted rather than standardized.

In India, “Cherry Robusta” denotes sun‑dried Robusta prepared as whole cherries—an old coastal tradition refined in Karnataka and Kerala. Careful picking and slow patio or yard drying concentrate sugars while taming rough edges typical of lower‑grade Robustas.

In the coffee-growing districts of Sakleshpur and Coorg in Karnataka, India, robusta is cultivated on family-owned farms where coffee production is often a multi-generation craft rather than a short-term crop. Robusta thrives in these landscapes with deeper root systems, larger leaves, and naturally higher yields, and it is widely valued for its intensity and structure in the cup. This lot is processed naturally, allowing the fruit to dry around the seed before milling—an approach that can add depth and heavier sweetness while reinforcing robusta’s bold profile. Roasted dark, this coffee is built for drinkers who want maximum weight and presence, with a profile that leans into strength rather than delicacy. It’s a practical, high-impact option for customers who prioritize a firm backbone, a heavier finish, and a coffee that stands up well in milk-based drinks or any brew method where you want the roast to carry through. As a robusta, it also delivers a distinctly higher caffeine experience than most arabica offerings, making it a straightforward choice for customers who want intensity with purpose.

On India’s west coast, Monsooned Malabar is shaped by one of coffee’s most distinctive post harvest methods. After the coffee is initially prepared as a natural, the beans are moved into well ventilated warehouses and laid in thick piles where they are exposed to moisture laden monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea. Over roughly 12 to 16 weeks, the coffee is repeatedly raked, bulked, and re bagged so moisture absorption stays even across the lot. During this staged exposure, the beans swell dramatically and shift in color, developing the muted, low sharpness profile that has made monsooned coffees a category of their own. This AA selection comes from Karnataka at 1,100 to 1,200 masl and reflects the careful handling required to keep the process controlled and consistent. Roasted dark, it’s designed for customers who want depth, softness, and a uniquely rounded cup that stands apart from standard washed or natural coffees.

“Nuggets” are India’s top Extra Bold screen selections—large, dense arabica beans historically exported from the princely state of Mysore.

Taken to a medium–dark curve, this lot develops a fudgy chocolate core, turns sugars toward toffee and caramel, and layers gentle sweet‑spice over toasted‑almond/walnut depth. The profile drinks velvety and composed, with acidity resting low and even so the cocoa‑nut line carries from mid‑palate to finish. Expect a polished, chocolate‑sweet close—classic Java comfort with organic credibility and enough structure to shine as a standalone or espresso component.

Kenya’s peaberry selections isolate single‑seeded beans (screen 15/16 here) prized for focused acidity and even roasting. Sourced from cooperative factories using classic double‑washed protocols—soak, wash, soak—these lots are famed for clarity and sweetness. Kept light in the roaster, the cup shows textbook Kenyan poise: black‑tea tannin and lemon‑grapefruit zest over a honey‑cane core, with red‑currant/berry lift and a hint of florals. Acidity reads bright, precise, and composed; body lands silky and tea‑like, not thin. Expect a clean, persistent finish where citrus and black‑tea notes linger with honeyed sweetness—an elegant, energetic peaberry that pops without turning sharp.

Kenya’s central highlands, clustered around Mount Kenya, are known for producing coffees with exceptional clarity and structure, and this AA Select Plus lot reflects that heritage. Sourced from smallholder farms in Kiambu County and offered through the Nairobi Coffee Exchange, the coffee is consolidated and milled locally before being graded, cupped, and sold at auction—an approach that has helped establish Kenya’s reputation for rigorous quality standards. Processing follows a classic Kenyan washed style with a double fermentation, where pulped cherries are soaked and fermented in stages to refine cleanliness and emphasize definition in the cup. After fermentation, the coffee is sun-dried on raised beds for an extended period, allowing airflow and slow drying to support stability and precision. Roasted light, this coffee is built to highlight origin character rather than roast influence, preserving brightness and aromatic lift while keeping the finish crisp and refreshing. It’s a profile designed for drinkers who appreciate a vivid, high-toned cup with a structured backbone and the kind of polish that has made Kenyan coffees a benchmark in specialty coffee.

From the southwestern highlands of Oaxaca, this coffee reflects a region where agriculture and community organization have long been intertwined. Since 1989, the Oaxaca State Coffee Producers Network (CEPCO) has worked to unite and support producers with a focus on quality, freshness, and infrastructure that helps coffees move through harvest and processing without picking up dull, stale character. The network’s impact extends beyond the cup: proceeds have helped strengthen women’s organizations, provide family support, and finance practical improvements that make production more resilient year after year. Today, many of CEPCO’s farmers operate on a small scale—often under two hectares—bringing careful attention to harvest timing and lot handling. Washed processing keeps the profile clean and structured, letting Oaxaca’s highland character show through with clarity. Roasted to a light-medium level, this coffee is designed to preserve brightness and definition while adding a touch more roundness than a very light roast, making it an easy fit for customers who want a crisp, origin-forward cup with a balanced, approachable finish.

From Sulawesi—an Indonesian island once known as Celebes—Kalossi is a historic name that predates “Toraja” in the trade vocabulary for coffees from this region. Grown in Tana Toraja, these coffees benefit from volcanic soils and dense forest shade that helps retain moisture and moderate temperature across the season. Production is rooted in small family farms where growers harvest and process their own cherries before the coffee moves through Indonesia’s signature wet-hulled method. In this approach, parchment is removed while the beans still hold higher moisture, leaving them more exposed as they finish drying on patios before collection and transport to a central dry mill for final preparation, sorting, and export. The result is a cup that tends to feel fuller and more aromatic, with a profile that leans wild, spicy, and highly complex—often a touch funkier and more earthy than neighboring Toraja lots. Roasted to a medium-dark level, this coffee is built to emphasize body and depth while keeping the origin’s distinctive character intact, making it a strong choice for customers who want intensity, structure, and an unmistakably Indonesian finish.

Rising from the central mountains of South Sulawesi, Toraja coffees are shaped by steep terrain, cool highland air, and generations of smallholder farming. This lot comes from Tana Toraja, where coffee is cultivated at high elevations and harvested in a landscape that shifts quickly from humid lowlands to misty rock-faced highlands. Producers in the region increasingly rely on cooperative micro-mills to strengthen quality control, improve sorting, and create clearer traceability from farm to export. After depulping, the coffee is typically fermented overnight, washed, and partially dried before undergoing Indonesia’s signature wet-hulled method, locally known as Giling Basah. In this process, parchment is removed while the beans still hold higher moisture, a technique that contributes to the heavier structure and grounded character many drinkers associate with Indonesian coffees. Roasted to a medium-dark profile, this coffee is built for a fuller mouthfeel and a low perceived acidity, making it a natural fit for customers who prefer depth, weight, and a steady finish.

On the biodiverse plateau of Lintong, southwest of Lake Toba, coffee is cultivated by local producers whose farming knowledge has been refined over generations. This Lake Toba Lintong TP lot is built through close coordination with a trusted mill, where careful cherry selection and disciplined sorting help maintain consistency across many small farms. The coffee is prepared using wet hulling, a processing method closely associated with Sumatra that shapes the coffee’s signature texture and depth. After processing, the beans are sun dried and sorted by hand, including a rare triple pick approach that tightens quality and helps ensure a clean, dependable cup. Grown at 1,300 to 1,600 masl, the elevation supports structure while the regional processing style contributes body and richness. Roasted dark, it is designed for customers who want boldness and comfort, with a grounded profile that performs well across everyday brew methods.

Tanzania’s peaberry selections isolate single‑seeded beans prized for focused acidity and even roasting, often sourced from Northern Highlands factories near Kilimanjaro/Arusha or Southern Highlands stations in Mbeya and Mbozi. Classic washed processing—careful fermentation, thorough washing, and raised‑bed drying—preserves clarity and honeyed sweetness. Kept at a medium–light roast, the cup shows lemon–grapefruit zest and black‑tea structure over a cane‑honey core, with red‑currant/berry lift and a touch of florals. Acidity reads bright and precise but composed; body lands silky and tea‑like. Expect a clean, persistent finish where citrus and black‑tea notes linger around gentle sweetness—articulate, refreshing, and tidy.

Coffee from northern Tanzania carries a distinctly highland character, shaped by the slopes and foothills surrounding Mount Kilimanjaro and the nearby Arusha region. This medium-dark roast is sourced from a network of small producers across districts such as Hai and Moshi Rural in Kilimanjaro, along with Meru district near Arusha. Farms in this area are typically compact—often one to two hectares—and many growers intercrop coffee with bananas and avocado, a traditional approach that supports biodiversity and helps buffer the farm against seasonal swings. The coffee is fully washed, with cherries pulped using locally made hand pulpers, fermented in simple buckets, and then dried slowly on raised beds to promote clean structure and clarity. Roasting it slightly deeper adds weight and roundness while keeping the origin’s lively edge intact, making this a strong option for customers who want more structure without drifting into a heavy, smoky profile. It’s built for a fuller mouthfeel, a steadier finish, and a balanced cup that still feels expressive rather than overly domesticated.

In Uganda’s Mubende District, Kaweri Farm cultivates robusta at scale while maintaining a quality-first approach that emphasizes density, careful harvesting, and disciplined processing. The farm spans more than 1,600 hectares and grows selected Ugandan robusta under indigenous shade trees, supporting a healthier farm ecosystem and more stable cherry development. Kaweri is also notable for pioneering washed processing for robusta in Uganda, applying a method more commonly associated with arabica to create a cleaner, more structured cup. Harvesting is selective, with ripe cherries picked intentionally rather than stripped, and the post-harvest workflow is meticulous pulping followed by soaking, sun pre-drying, and final drum drying to stabilize moisture and protect consistency. The result is a robusta built around hard, dense beans that can feel surprisingly refined for the species, with a solidity that stands up well to deeper roast development. Roasted dark, this coffee is designed for weight and intensity while still benefiting from the washed process’s cleaner foundation, making it a strong option for customers who want robusta power with a more composed, less rustic finish.

Taken deep with an extended Maillard phase, this lot settles into a fudgy chocolate core; caramelized sugars read as molasses and toffee; and roasted‑almond/walnut tones round the mid‑palate. Acidity stays very low and smoothly integrated, emphasizing weight and composure. Expect a long, tidy cocoa‑nut finish—dependably rich and dense crema for espresso.

Yemen is one of coffee’s true origin stories—an early center of cultivation and trade where coffee moved from local tradition into the wider world. This Mocca Peaberry comes from Sa’dah Governorate, a mountainous region where coffee is grown at high elevations and processed in a natural style that preserves fruit character and amplifies complexity. The peaberry screen—single, rounded seeds formed when a coffee cherry develops one bean instead of two—often roasts with a slightly different rhythm, and many roasters prize it for its density and concentrated character. With a light roast approach, the goal is to keep the cup vivid and articulate, emphasizing origin-driven nuance rather than roast weight. Yemen coffees are rarely “polished” in the modern sense; they tend to feel layered, rustic in a compelling way, and unmistakably distinctive. This is the kind of coffee that rewards attentive brewing and invites customers who want something historically significant, expressive, and outside the usual flavor template of more standardized origins.
