$12.00Kainamui, Kenya
We’re really excited to share with you a shining example of why the best Kenyan coffees are so cherished.
Located on the fertile volcanic slopes of Mt. Kenya, the Kainamui washing station is owned by the New Ngariama Farmers Co-operative Society. Around 1,800 of the group’s member farmers are siutated in the surrounding area and deliver their coffee cherries here for sale and processing.
This is the second year we’ve purchased from Kainamui, having chosen it as the feature coffee in last year’s Victorian AeroPress Championship.
We love this coffee for it’s vibrancy and radiance, and hope that you will, too.

$23.00La Soledad, Guatemala
This delicious and approachable coffee comes to them from Antigua in Guatemala, offering up a relaxed milk chocolate sweetness, a toasted hazelnut warmth, and soft, defining hints of key lime pie.
If them were forced to pigeon-hole it, La Soledad would be filed under ‘Coffees that taste quite a lot like coffee’, with its buckets of brown sugar sweetness and a gentle toasty-ness making it exceedingly easy to get along with.

La Soledad is a privately-held farm, owned by Lucia Zelaya and her husband, Rony Asensio. The farm is an 11-hectare carve-out of a much larger estate called Finca Santa Clara, which was established by Lucia’s great-grandfather in 1908 and subdivided between family members in the 1990’s.Together with the manager of day-to-day operations and a team of twenty-five seasonal pickers, Lucia and Rony pay close attention to all aspects of the coffee’s journey, from shade-tree management through to careful picking of only the ripest cherries.
The result for them is an incredibly clean, elegant, and satisfying coffee which we’re really excited to share with you.

This is their second season buying La Soledad here in Melbourne, though (while working at other companies) we’ve bought coffees from the Zelaya family as far back as 2013.We’re roasting this coffee on the lighter end of the spectrum — what them call ‘filter coffee’ — to accentuate the sweetness and warmth that drew them to it. This means it’s best for brewing on pour over, plunger, batch brew, AeroPress, (or similar).

$21.00Werka, Ethiopia
Well isn’t this a surprising cup of fun? Nicely vibrant and playful without trading off maturity, complexity, and balance in the cup.
When they think ‘Ethiopia’ they typically don’t stray far from some fairly tired cliches of ‘tea-like’, ‘bergamot’, and ‘jasmine’ — notes which would be extremely welcome if they appeared in the cup as often as they do on the label.
This coffee brings something else entirely.
For us, it shares more in common with some of the more elegant, western-Kenyan coffees of Mt. Elgon than many of the ‘lemon black tea’ coffees typical of the Sidamo region. In Werka, you’ll find a strong central theme reminiscent of redcurrant jelly, flanked on one side by a syrupy, pink lemonade-like sweetness and a concentrated red fruit note on the other.
While this coffee is grown and harvested by around 750 smallholder farmers, the cherries are processed and dried into export-ready green beans by a private company, owned by Mr. Faysel A. Yonis. This set up is similar to how their friend Aime Gahizi produces another favourite coffee of ours in Rwanda. (Yes, the coffee is Gitesi, for those playing at home).
It’s by no means a perfect model, but where owners are quality-driven and able to incentivise and reward growers for only picking the ripest of cherries, they do tend to see a noticeable uplift in the quality in the cup. Couple this with secondary payments (a kind of profit share) going back to growers, and they feel like we’re on the right track.
But enough waffle, though I could go on all day. We’re roasting this coffee on the lighter end of the spectrum — what they call ‘filter coffee’ — to preserve the vibrancy and fun, while maintaining the sweetness and depth. This means it’s best for brewing on pour over, plunger, batch brew, AeroPress, (or similar).
