PROCESSING

Both components of this blend are naturally processed coffees. Whole cherries are dried either on raised beds or patios in thin layers. Constant turning of the cherries is required to ensure even drying and to prevent the occurrence of defects.

TRACEABILITY

The lot from Fazenda Barrinha was sourced from Costa Cafe and DR Wakefield. Our head roaster visited Fazenda Barrinha as part of a relationship-building trip in May 2022; this is our second year of buying coffee from Armando. The Kercha Sharo was sourced through Kamba. Israel Degfa is a part owner of Kamba; we visited him and some of his farms in 2020.
