Rooted in heritage.

Close to the Kenyan border lies Tarime, a small municipality with a washing station serving nearby coffee farmers.

The farms in the area were neglected from 2017 to 2019 due to regulatory changes that caused uncertainty.

Four years ago, an effort was made to revive the area due to its previous history of producing high-quality coffees. This project focused on introducing better production practices and paying higher premiums to reward quality.

The Producer

Cherries are hand picked with care, selected at the height of ripeness before being sorted and placed into cool, clean water. Here, flotation separates the less dense, imperfect fruit, leaving only the finest to continue.

These cherries then undergo a gentle 12–16 hour fermentation in water. Afterwards, they’re laid out on raised beds to dry slowly over 4–5 weeks. Turned regularly by hand, they dry evenly—preserving clarity and structure.

Once the cherries have been processed at the wet mill, they are shipped to Moshi for hulling, sorting, grading, and packing.

  • Natural

    Ripe cherries are dried whole commonly on patio’s, drying beds or even the bare earth allowing the bean to ferment naturally encased by its fruit.

    The cherries are turned regularly to reduce the risk of defects and ensure even drying.

    Once the cherries resemble raisins and the target parameters are met the coffee is hulled and sorted in the dry mill.
