From the producer

The washing station processes cherry from about 2,000 surrounding smallholder farmers, each typically cultivating a one-hectare garden plot.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A clean, bright, elegant washed lot from a long-running SEY relationship with Banko Gotiti, with exact 2025-release details separated from the 2026 harvest.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
