The story

Long Miles developed Ninga washing station after documenting the long, difficult journeys Bumba, Ninga, and neighboring farmers faced when delivering cherries. SEY first purchased Bumba Hill coffees from the 2025 harvest and kept picking dates as separate lots.

Challenges

Bumba farmers have faced geographic isolation, long travel to washing stations, limited infrastructure, and unreliable market access. Individual contributors and field-blend percentages for this SEY separation remain unpublished.

Innovations

Ninga washing station shortens cherry-delivery time and supports traceable harvest-date separations. SEY’s May 5 lot used double fermentation, density grading, and raised-bed drying.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
