4 coffeesBarra Estate sits on the rim of the Poços de Caldas volcanic caldera and has been in the family since 1966; 120 of its 190 ha are coffee, hand-picked on steep terrain by 250 seasonal workers, then pulped and patio-dried for 10–14 days.
Turrón · Raspberry
Gakuyu-ini is the only factory of the Thirikwa cooperative, about 1,553 members on the slopes of Mount Kenya; this lot is SL28 and SL34 cherry picked by local residents. (The shop's spec table lists Rwanda by mistake; the story is Kirinyaga.)
Raspberry · Peach
Ignacio Huaman Pusma picks, ferments (in a tiled tank) and dries the coffee himself on his one-hectare farm in Huayabal. Tabaconas long had a reputation for defects from lack of investment, until a Tabaconas coffee placed third in the 2017 Cup of Excellence.
Raisin · Plum · Sweet & creamy
From Gitwe, a newly built washing station in Nyamasheke on the volcanic slopes above Lake Kivu, with around 800 farmers delivering cherry.
