Barrancas comes from San Marcos in Western Guatemala. Literally translated it means "ravines". Small and medium estates around the town of Barrancas Grande produce this coffee. Many of these farms are nestled in the ravines of the mountain side and are only accessible by dirt roads. Barrancas is a washed coffee that underwent a dry fermentation for 18-24 hours before being dried on cement patios for 5 days. It tastes like red fruit, chocolate, almond and citrus. These beautiful, balanced flavors can be attributed to the cool, dry climate of the 1700-1800 MASL that these farms sit at.

Ngogomo

$22.00

Coffee Name - Ngogomo

Origin: Ngogomo, Gasorwe, Muyinga, Burundi

Process: Washed

Varietals: Red Bourbon

Altitude: 1500-1800 MASL

Tasting Notes: Plum, Dark Chocolate, Warm

Nogogomo comes from Bugestal Coffee in Burundi and is the hand picked work of 1802 small farm holders. Each farmer has an average of 200-250 trees. This coffee goes through several stages of hand picking to ensure it is graded correctly. Agronomists even hand check beans to ensure perfect fermentation. They also use UV light and 2 full time hand pickers to sort through each bag before shipment. This coffee tastes like plum, dark chocolate with warming spices.

Ngogomo used to be a fishing village, but when fish began to disappear from the streams coffee became a more viable means of stable work. Coffee arrived in Burundi in the 1940s and now many of these farmers have trees that are more than 50 years old. Aging roostock has become an issue because of this. Although farmers know it's best to remove the old tree and plant a young seedling in its place they often can't afford to wait the 3-4 years until maturity. They thankfully have access to help from ISABU (Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Burundi) who grow seedlings and sell them to farmers at or below cost.

Benti Nenka

$25.00

Coffee Name - Benti Nenka

Origin: Hambela Wamena, Guji, Ethiopia

Process: Washed

Varietals: JARC Selections, Ethiopian Landraces

Altitude: 1925-2110 MASL

Tasting Notes: Blackberry, Stone Fruit, Juicy

Benti Nenka comes to us from Hambela Wamena in the Guji region of Ethiopia. If you don't recognize Guji you may recognize the region of Sidamo. But, over the past decade much work has been done to differentiate Guji as its own separate growing region. Eyasu Worasa works with 600 contributing farmers to run the Guduba processing station. Eyasu uses traditional Ethiopian underwater fermentation to wash this coffee. It spends 36-48 hours underwater and then 10-14 days drying on raised beds. We are particularly interested in the JARC & Ethiopian Landraces varietals in this coffee. All of this hard work contributes flavors of blackberry and stone fruity with a juicy body.

JARC stands for the Jimma Agricultural Research Center. They select, cultivate and breed varietals in Ethiopia. JARC is run by the EBI, Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute. When you read Landraces you might liken it to heirloom varietals. And you wouldn't be totally wrong! Saying heirloom is a wide view of what landraces are. By being so specific about the varietals we've chosen to honor the research and intention that went into choosing these varietals for the land at Benti Nenka. We love that the EBI is specifically working to increase biodiversity in Ethiopia and are so happy to support their work!
