In the highlands of Nyeri County in Kenya’s Central Province, some 800 smallholder growers deliver their selectively harvested cherries to the Kangocho Factory washing station. The region’s high elevation and volcanic soil are well suited for growing highly regarded local varieties like SL-28, SL-34, Batian, and Ruiru. Once cherries reach the washing station, they are hand sorted for ripeness, then pulped and rinsed. A double fermentation follows, breaking down the mucilage and contributing to a complex, sparkling clean cup that lets the terroir shine. The profile is further refined at the dry mill where the coffee is sorted to meet AB standards, one of Kenya’s most premium quality grades.

This release features a variety that is new to us and a farm that is not. The variety is known locally in Peru as Bourbon Marshell, named for the owner of the farm where the unusual seed was first discovered and later multiplied for distribution. It was grown at Finca La Palestina by the Alarcón Coronel family, a rising star in our global Direct Trade network. Flavor notes: toffee, dats, & white grapefruit.

In 2020, we expanded upon the concept of our Extraordinary Coffee Workshop, an event that brings our global Direct Trade network, and convened a coffee quality event for smallholder cooperatives in Guatemala that we called Intelligentsia ECWx.
