Cupping Room Collection | Burundi Masha

Known as the "Heart of Africa", Burundi is a land-locked and resource poor country. Their predominately agricultural economy employs more than 90% of the population, with its primary exports being coffee and tea - making coffee the heart of Burundi, providing hope for a better future.   A relative newcomer to the specialty coffee world, Burundi's coffee production started in the 1930's and was privatized in 2009. Primarily comprised of small-holder farms, each farm averages 100 to 200 coffee trees.   Greenco Burundi carefully manages the coffee cherry selection, processing and export of coffee at several washing stations, including the...

Cupping Room Collection | Ethiopia Gelana Abaya

Ethiopia is universally recognized as the birthplace of coffee, and produces some of the most complex and exciting coffees in the world.

Fresh From the Roastery :: Brazil Sitio Rocinha

Grown at Sitio Rocinha by Demétrio Flaviano de Oliveira, this coffee is selectively harvested, only when the fruits are ripe.

He is dedicated to producing gourmet coffees that are sustainably grown, with a focus on natural processing and preserving and respecting the environment. Sourcing NotesBy Pete Maskiell, Caffè...
