About this coffee

Farm - Ninga Hill Origin - Burundi Process - Natural Varietal - Red Bourbon Altitude - 1800-2000 MASL Flavour Notes - Strawberries and Fig Leaf Best for: Filter + Modern Espresso roast level: Very Light Farm Ninga Washing Station is located on Ninga Hill in Burundi's Butanyerera Province, within the Matongo Commune, at an elevation of approximately 1,900 metres above sea level. Surrounded by the Nkokoma River and neighbouring hills, the station was established to provide local coffee farmers with a fair and accessible place to sell their coffee cherries. Before its construction, many producers travelled long distances to reach washing stations offering honest weighing practices and fair prices, making Ninga an important investment in the local coffee community. Life in this region has been shaped by both its natural beauty and its challenges. Periods of conflict have repeatedly forced farming families to leave their homes, with coffee trees left untended until it was safe to return. Despite the abundance of rivers throughout the area, many communities still face limited access to clean drinking water and electricity. Today, Ninga Washing Station plays a vital role in supporting local livelihoods, strengthening producer relationships and showcasing the exceptional quality of coffees grown in the surrounding hills. Process This coffee is produced using the traditional natural process, where ripe coffee cherries are carefully dried with the fruit still intact before the beans are removed. As the cherries dry, the beans absorb natural sugars and fruit characteristics, creating a cup with vibrant sweetness, rich body and layered notes of ripe fruit. Careful drying and attention throughout the process help produce a complex, expressive coffee with lasting flavour and balance.

Sitting at approximately 1,900 metres above sea level and bordered by the Nkokoma River, the station serves coffee-growing communities across the surrounding hills. It was established to give local farmers a reliable place to deliver their cherries, providing fair weighing practices and competitive prices without the need to travel long distances. Despite the region's fertile landscape and abundant rivers, many communities still have limited access to clean drinking water and electricity. Over the years, periods of conflict have repeatedly displaced farming families, forcing many to leave their homes while their coffee trees remained untended until they could safely return. Today, Ninga Washing Station plays an important role in supporting local producers, creating stable market access and helping farmers continue producing exceptional coffee despite the region's challenges. Process This lot is produced using a yeast fermentation fully washed process. Carefully selected yeast cultures are introduced during fermentation to guide flavour development before the coffee is thoroughly washed and dried. The controlled fermentation enhances consistency while bringing greater clarity to the cup, highlighting bright acidity, refined sweetness and layered fruit and floral notes. The result is a clean, expressive coffee with excellent balance, complexity and a vibrant finish.

Part of the historic Kotowa coffee estate, the farm honours the legacy of Alexander Duncan MacIntyre, whose passion for the region helped establish a family tradition of coffee cultivation spanning generations. Situated at high altitude, the farm benefits from cool temperatures, rich volcanic soils and a distinctive microclimate, creating ideal conditions for producing exceptional coffee. Careful cultivation and meticulous processing are central to the farm’s approach, allowing the unique characteristics of each harvest to shine. Depending on the processing method, coffees can express delicate floral aromas, bright citrus acidity, sweet berry notes and rich, ripe-fruit flavours. These complex profiles reflect the influence of Boquete’s environment, where elevation and climate contribute to the development of distinctive cup characteristics. Sustainability is also an important consideration, with coffee pulp reused as organic fertiliser and synthetic herbicides and insecticides avoided. Combining generations of experience with a commitment to quality, Finca Kotowa Duncan represents the excellence and heritage of Panama’s specialty coffee industry. PROCESS Grown on the lush highlands of Boquete, Panama, Finca Kotowa Duncan benefits from a distinctive mountain climate, with cool temperatures and rich volcanic soils that support the development of exceptional specialty coffee. The Maragogype varietal, renowned for its impressively large beans, brings a unique character to this carefully processed lot. For the natural process, ripe coffee cherries are selectively handpicked and dried whole, allowing the beans to absorb sweetness and flavour from the surrounding fruit as they dry. At Kotowa Duncan, natural coffees are traditionally sun-dried for approximately 18 days, encouraging the development of rich fruit character and aromatic complexity. Careful drying helps preserve the coffee’s quality while allowing its distinctive profile to emerge.

Farm - Tinganga Estate Origin - Kenya Process - Natural Varietal - SL-28 Altitude - 2000 Flavour Notes - Raisin, Blackberry, Creamy Chocolate roast level: Light FARM Tinganga is a 182ha coffee farm originally established by British colonists. It is now one of six estates owned and operated by Sasini, a publicly listed company with majority Kenyan ownership. Sasini’s estates have long placed an emphasis on equity and community. For estate workers, this includes the provision of living quarters, early childhood education, union membership, and guaranteed payment above the minimum wage. In collaboration with Olam Specialty and more than 30 of its customers, Sasini has also been able to invest further in the local primary school, Njenga Karume. This investment has principally involved the construction of a new computer lab, equipping students with IT skills to maximise their opportunities in an increasingly digital world. PROCESS Specialty natural processing is relatively rare in Kenya, an origin traditionally dominated by fully washed processing alongside lower-quality, home-processed naturals. At Sasini, selected cherries are dried in the sun on raised African beds for up to six weeks. The cherries are carefully turned to ensure a consistent drying process and to prevent over-fermentation or mould formation. They are covered at night and during rainfall to protect them from moisture damage.
