Coffee

I.

100% speciality grade Arabica coffee is an investment. We source our green coffee from single farms and estates in the speciality coffee market, with our focus on quality, provenance, sustainability, freshness and fair relationships with the growers.

Guided by our green bean suppliers, experience and our Ikawa sample roaster, we profile our single origin beans to enhance and develop their individual characteristics and flavours.

Each origin has its own unique growing conditions and processes which impart distinct nuances. We skilfully unlock these, creating an ever surprising, invigorating and truly remarkable taste experience.

II.

We develop our signature espresso blends and single origin coffees in line with the growing seasons and the best harvests from each chosen country.

When we find a coffee that we love, we involve our customers in the tasting and evaluation and only when it meets the highest standard, will it be added to our portfolio.

Current single origin coffees

One of seven farms in the Matagalpa and Jinotega region, Santa Maria forms part of the Grupo Las Nubes. It’s location within La Reserva El Arenal means that coffee plants at santa maria grow in the shade of the forest. The Robelo family lost the farm during a conflict during which they were forced off their land. Victor Robelo, a third generation coffee farmer, regained ownership of his father’s coffee farm back in 2011. Under his ownership Santa Maria has more than doubled in size to thirty-five hectares since 2017. The farm has since produced coffee that won the ACE Cup of Excellence award in 2017.

All coffee produced on Santa Maria are washed and fermented at the farm before being sent to the Las Nubes dry mill. This ensures quality and uniformity between all members of the group. This particular coffee is then dried for 10 days on shaded raised beds.
The ripe cherries are handpicked on the farm, before being pulped washed and fermented. Once dried, it is rested in bags before cleaning, milling, and grading.

Formed in 2022, Tuzamurane is a relatively new cooperative. Josie, the head of the co-operative, is also the land owner for the 35 women that form the cooperative. They have been growing coffee for around 13 years. The women have been wanting to work with Kinini for agronomist support and washing station services as their reputation in the area has grown. In Rwanda, there are laws regarding which washing station you can deliver to. Kinini had to apply for a special license in able provide this service, and Tuzamurane are the first outside of the traditional catchment area in the Northern Sector to be able to work with Kinini in this way. Fittingly, Tuzamurane is a Kinyarwanda word that translates roughly as ‘lift one another up’ or ‘support each other’.

Popayán is located in the department of Cauca at 1,700 m.a.s.l.
This regions topography is perfect to grow exceptional coffee!
The Meseta de Popayan is sheltered by the Andes
mountain range which helps generate homogeneous climatic
and altitudinal characteristics. The result is a balanced cup
profile with floral and caramel notes.

This decaffeination process is unique. The caffeine is extracted
using sugar cane and water which enhances sweetness while
maintaining coffee attributes.

The green beans are put into a steam chamber where the silver
skin is removed from the bean. After this, the beans are
submerged in spring water and as soon the coffee is saturated
with water it is sent to the extractors where the beans have
direct contact with sugar cane ethyl acetate for 8 hours which
dissolves the caffeine content.

Then the decaffeinated coffee is dried in a chamber to reach the
same moisture content that it had prior to the process
