Description

Gombe Washed by The Coffee GardensThe Coffee Gardens was established in 2017 with the goal of ethically producing specialty coffee. In 2022, they expanded their capacity by dismantling their old washing station and rebuilding it on a new site. This micro lot is produced by 227 farmers, on the mountain above The Coffee Gardens washing station. The farmers deliver the coffee cherries down to the processing station themselves, where it is sorted, pulped and then soaked in cold mountain

This lot sits firmly within that narrow 2% band

The ripest cherries are handpicked by small-holder farmers and then processed using the classic washed method

Cherry is shade-grown

Drying in a dehumidifier removes moisture without over-oxidising the seed or allowing metabolism to progress beyond fermentation

– 12hr oxidation process at a room temperature of 25°C to begin the extraction of flavours

before being hulled

It is then carefully washed and meticulously graded into distinct categories

they begin each project by defining a target flavour profile and then design a processing method that brings that profile to life

It's then applied to perfectly ripe coffee cherries and allowed to grow for an additional 4 days under aerobic conditions

and a small portion of Batian

the coffee is dried in a parabolic system at up to 32°C
