A farm with more than 110 years of history that pursues quality as well as social projects: a rich mouthfeel and a brown-sugar finish.
Macadamia, apricot, milk chocolate
A natural lot from the single estate Tade GG in Shakiso, decaffeinated with water alone to under 0.1% caffeine: soft and round with a brown-sugar finish.
Strawberry, grape, lemon tea
From Limu, a region drawing attention as a new specialty origin: a four-day anaerobic natural with fermented, fruity acidity and a rich, complex sweetness.
Red wine, cassis, prune
From Evin Moreno in Santa Bárbara, who prioritises soil and tree health and readily tries new processes: a round mouthfeel and a long, sweet finish.
Navel orange, honey, apricot
Part of Unir's "Super Excellent" series of lots chosen by founder Hisashi Yamamoto. Juan has focused on specialty since 2017, deliberately shrinking his planted area to raise quality. Smooth and syrupy, with a long honeyed finish.
Elderflower, lemon honey, peach, green apple
A blend that prioritises sweetness and body, built from whatever single origins are in season.
Unir's iced-coffee blend, built for a viscous, weighty mouthfeel from seasonal single origins.
From a factory of the Kibirigwi Farmers Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga, roasted a little darker by Unir: rich and round with a black-sugar finish, Kenyan weight and fruity acidity.
Dark chocolate, Bing cherry, dried cassis
Unir's special-occasion blend of Brazil and Honduras: rich mouthfeel, a long honey-like finish and a specialty-grade character.
Orange, plum, hazelnut
