Our approach

Experiment, Evolve, Learn

This method is fairly straight forward, and is very common in a lot of African countries like Ethiopia and Kenya, because it helps deliver the bright, clean coffees these countries are known for. The process involves the farmers removing the exocarp (skin), and mesocarp (mucilage / pulp) from the cherry, leaving the seed encased in the endocarp (parchment) to be washed ,whereafter it is sun-dried and prepared for shipment. Washed coffees tend to taste cleaner, brighter, and reveal a lot of the subtle complexities within each individual coffee.
