From the farm
Buku Abel, Shakiso.
This lot comes from around 340 smallholder families farming heirloom varieties on plots of less than two hectares, delivered as cherry to the Buku Abel station.
Cherries are floated, sorted and dried on raised beds for 18 days, turned every few hours. This is our fourth year buying from the station and the second year we have visited in person.

Blueberry is not a marketing word here
Brewed on a V60 at day 7 and the fruit is unmistakable. Clean, no ferment funk. Best natural I have had this year.

Fourth bag on subscription
Arrives every two weeks like clockwork, roast date always within the week. The 1 kg bag is the better deal if you drink daily.

Great filter, tricky espresso
Took me a week of dialing in on espresso, but as pour over it is excellent. Follow their brew guide, it is accurate.
