With notes of peanut butter, caramel, and chocolate. This is a balanced and well rounded cup with a smooth mouthfeel. We've found that this coffee lends itself nicely to french press, drip, and makes a stellar espresso. The nutty, sweet cup tastes like a snickers bar and it certainly a favorite among our Roasting Team.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePeaberry coffee is the product of a natural mutation. Normally, two seeds (\"beans\") develop within the coffee fruit, pushing up against one another to form the characteristic flat sides of coffee beans. Peaberries occur when only one of the two seeds is fertilized, leaving it with nothing to press against. As a result, it takes on a round, pea-like shape.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDaterra is a very interesting farm in Brazil, very high tech. They take a blending approach similar to scotch producers. Their aim is to have consistency based on changing the blend components. The sorting process shows how technology can be implemented into coffee. Not many, if any, other farms have this level of commitment. \u003cbr\u003eDaterra's plantations are located at an average altitude of 3,800 ft (1,150 m) under a stable temperature of around 70ºF (25ºC), which constitutes the perfect environment for Arabica Coffee production. Furthermore, the dry season during the harvest makes this region unique for the best Arabica coffees.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe plantations, settled in different areas, are divided into 215 mini- farms and further subdivided into 2.816 blocks called \"quadras\", each of which is planted with a specific coffee variety.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"default-style\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis plantation system ensures accurate monitoring and constant traceability of each quadra's historic track of rainfall, cultivation procedures and productivity.\u003cbr\u003eThe estate has an impressive list of certifications — Utz, Rainforest Alliance, and IQNet.

This season's Kichwa Tembo present a classic, hardworking Kenya profile with citrus fruit, bright and tangy acidity, balanced sweetness, and some of the complexity expected from a Kenyan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Kenya, most smallholders own between 1\/8 and 1\/4 hectare — tiny plots. They deliver ripe cherries to a central processing station (called a \"factory\" or washing station), where the day's combined deliveries are processed together. This is why traceability in Kenya stops at the factory level rather than the farm level for most lots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenya employs a unique variation to the typical washed process.  The coffee is picked and depulped the same day, then fermented in open-air concrete tanks for 24–48 hours.  Following fermentation, it is thoroughly washed.  The twist that Kenya adds is an additional soaking step underwater for 12–72 hours.  This extended soaking step is what gives Kenyan coffees their clean, bright, and intensely fruited cup character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCafe Imports sources Kenyan offerings at auction through the Nairobi Coffee Exchange, through exporters, and via \"Second Window\" direct relationships, which allows them to purchase based on cup quality across multiple channels. The \"Second Window\" is an avenue by which a farmer and buyer negotiate price somewhat separately from auction bidding, typically by discussing and agreeing on the deal before or during the harvest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pb-style=\"LKTFDDK\" data-element=\"main\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-content-type=\"column\" class=\"pagebuilder-column f-right\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pb-style=\"R4KFP72\" data-element=\"main\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-content-type=\"column\" class=\"pagebuilder-column f-right\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pb-style=\"NL17ECI\" data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHistory of Coffee in Kenya\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt seems likely that coffee grew wild within the region that would become Kenya, buried deep inside impenetrable forests, or perhaps hiding in plain sight; but it wasn’t until 1895 that missionaries both protestant and catholic attempted to grow coffee for commercial purposes. The 100 seeds from Reunion Island that would serve as progenitors to the Kenyan coffee industry arrived on a train, carried by priests belonging to an order known as “Holy Ghost Fathers.” On August 12th, 1899, they arrived at the spot that would quickly become the country’s capital city. One of the early protestant medical missionaries was Dr. Henry Scott. After his death in 1911, a new hospital complex was named after Dr. Scott and when the department of agriculture took over the complex in 1923 they kept the name: Scott Agricultural Laboratories, or “Scott Labs.” This is the origin of the “SL” in SL28, SL34 and other coffee varieties selected at the lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Flight Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"12oz","offer_id":44748670697672,"sku":"kenyaab12","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":44748670730440,"sku":"kenyaab22","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/8309\/files\/KICHWA-TEMBO-2026-WEB.jpg?v=1781626893"},{"product_id":"brazil-daterra-farms-peaberry-david-special-copy-1","title":"Colombia Narino - Buesaco Sareni","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ProductMeta__Description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductMeta__Description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFlavor Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehibiscus, pomegranate, orange juice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAltitude: 2100m\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal: castillo, caurra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: Narino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcess: washed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFrom Our Importers:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-group\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-content-type=\"column-group\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-grid-size=\"12\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"RPNMR7S\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\" data-content-type=\"column-line\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"OD6BE6B\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column f-left\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"VHKR4U9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"H581SWJ\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the elevated terrains of Buesaco Nariño in southern Colombia, this exquisite coffee is cultivated at over 2,000 meters above sea level on average.
