Tanzania Isaiso AA

Rich in agricultural production, the Songwe region, bordering Zambia and Malawi in southern Tanzania, is home to the 175 villages and 515,000 people of the Mbozi District. Here, the Isaiso Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society (AMCOS) was created in 2008, growing to 421 members today. Harvest begins with producers selectively handpicking their cherries at peak ripeness. Members will process their cherries at home. Hand pulpers are utilized to peel away the external fruit immediately after harvest. The beans are then fermented in tanks of water for a maximum of 72 hours to breakdown the remaining mucilage. The clean beans are then sun dried on raised beds for 9-10 days. Once dried, the beans are delivered to the Isaiso mill to be hulled, graded and rested prior to export. In 2023, coffee from this AMCOS placed first in the Tanzania Fine Coffees Competition.

La Naranjas,

Tomas started small, with just a hectare of land, high in Peru’s Cajamarca, and he took his time to hone his craft. Over ten years, his lot has grown to three hectares, on which he meticulously tends to his local varieties of Typica, Red Caturra and Bourbon, which grow in the shade of giant cedar trees, planted by his grandparents. Tomas selectively hand picks his coffee cherries before pulping them and fermenting them for up to 40 hours. Then they’re triple washed and the beans are air dried for up to a month, depending on rainfall. We’re really excited to bring you Tomas’s coffee for the fourth year running. We're getting a beautiful bright acidity, in the cup, with notes of orange and lemon, as well as a raisin-like sweetness and a rounded body.
About Peru

Peru is currently the world’s largest exporter of organic coffee, with some 90,000 hectares certified organic. This has primarily been due to smaller producers lacking resources for investment in chemical inputs.

Key coffee producing regions are Cajamarca, Junín, Cusco and San Martin. Typical harvest times are March to September and the most popular varietals are Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, Paché & Catimor.

Peruvian coffees are usually associated with big-bodied sweetness and relatively low acidity.
About Tanzania
Bounced back from catastrophic coffee wilt disease in the 1990s, Tanzania now produces up to 40,000 metric tonnes of coffee each year, of which about 95% is grown by smallholder farmers. Whilst 30% of this crop is still made up of Robusta, about 70% of Tanzania’s output is now Arabica, with most crops being Kent, Bourbon, and Typical varieties.

The main regions for Arabica farming are Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Ruvuma, Mbeya and Kigoma, and are known for producing coffee with bright acidity and fruity juiciness.
