Our Kenya Lenana is a blend of AA screen size coffees from traceable sources, both estates and cooperatives, and prepared by our sister company Taylor Winch (Coffee) Ltd in Kenya. The coffee was grown by smallholders - with an average of 200 trees each - who delivered their freshly picked ripe cherries to cooperative wet mills. The Lenana AA Plus was disc pulped, fully fermented and washed, sundried on elevated drying tables. Consolidated parchment volumes were then delivered to dry mills where the parchment was hulled, graded according to size and density, warehoused and warranted for sale

About Mexico Finca Vista Hermosa

Mario Santiz Lopez is a second-generation coffee farmer and the owner of Finca Vista Hermosa, a small 6 acre farm in Chiapas, Mexico. 

Before they grew coffee, Mario's parents raised corn and beans, but those crops did not provide enough income to sustain the family. Out of desperation, his father took a job at one of the larger area farms. It was there that he learned about coffee production and the potential earnings he could achieve by growing coffee.

The Lopez family started growing coffee and things went well until 2012 when their plantation was hit by leaf rust. They had been growing non-resistant varietals and the disease decimated their farm. Production fell from 60 to just ten bags per year. Fortunately, in 2014 an exporter started supporting the Lopez family through the "Mas Cafe" project. The program helped them renovate and recover almost 5 acres. Soon, production increased to 120 bags per year, saving their farm and livelihood.

The farming community in Altos is strong. Every year in August, area producers in this region celebrate the 'Virgen de Juquila" religious festivity. They have a big gathering where they invite friends and family to drink Posh (a local drink) and eat Tamales. Each year after harvest there is a similar celebration with the workers at the farm.

These beans come from the Kintamani Highlands in Bali, Indonesia.

The Kintamani highlands, where most coffee is grown, sits atop a large volcanic plateau between 1,300-1,700 meters above sea level. Coffee tree varieties include a high percentage of Bourbon and Typica, along with shade trees such as Erythrina, Albizia, tangerine and orange. The use of pesticides is forbidden on the island, so any growing aids are 100% organic. Although most coffees exported from Indonesia are wet-hulled, coffee from Bali use a dry processing method, which gives it unique flavorings.

We recommend brewing through chemex, v60@1:17. It also makes an excellent milk based espresso!
