Natural 1010 masl 60 kgs GrainPro cupping notes: Fazenda Recanto is a Rainforest Alliance certified farm in the Sul de Minas coffee region. Recanto has been in the same family since 1874, and its award-winning coffees are known for their incredible body and sweetness, making a wonderful drip coffee as well as an incredibly sweet and chocolaty espresso.
History Fazenda Recanto has a long and incredible history in coffee production, and many of the farm’s original structures are still standing and still in use. Olimpio Souza Magalhaes(1850-1920) first planted coffee at Recanto in 1874 when the farm was called São Luiz. In 1916, Olímpio divided up the farm between his two sons and his son Lázaro Magalhães received the corner, or recanto, part of the farm. Since 1985, his great-granddaughter Maria Selma and her husband Afranio have managed the farm, maintaining the well-deserved reputation of consistently producing great coffee.
Sustainability Maria Selma and Afranio live on the farm and raised their children on the farm. Their dedication to preserving the land comes from the sincerity of wanting to leave the land better for their children. In fact, 432 acres, over one third of the farm, have been set aside as natural preserves. They have also worked to reforest large portions of the land and preserve the thirteen natural springs found at Recanto. One major reason they live on the farm is that they delight in the nature that surrounds them. Many of the photos featured in the gallery on this page were taken by Maria Selma and Afranio..

quality Kivu 4 origin D.R Congo region Cheganda, Mbinga Nord, Kalehe, South Kivu producer Mungaro Cooperative variety Bourbon processing Fully washed altitude 1800-2000 masl packing 60 kgs Grain Pro There are 450 members (including 45 female farmers) in the Mungaro cooperative that produce Kivu 4. We are really excited to have this coffee, firstly because the cup is fantastic and secondly because it is the first time we receive coffee from the Mungaro cooperative. The farms range from small holding 2 hectares with the larger farms cultivating up to 30 hectares. The soil is volcanic and chalky and very fertile and the area has two rainy seasons in the year. The coffee is shade grown, hand-picked and fully washed at the central wet mill. They use little or no agrichemicals and farming is quite low intensity although the farmers have managed to produce good yields. D.R Congo, the former Zaire, has been a troubled nation, situated in the heart
of the African continent, the people have suffered immeasurably from ongoing civil war and violence. Roads in the area are dangerous and poorly maintained which adds another dimension to the challenge of exporting the coffee safely. Overall It is fantastic to see small groups like the Mungaro group coming together to produce such a spectacular product. The farmers are happy with the results, now they are able to pay school fees for their children and afford some basic medical expenses. Overall the Mungaro group give a very positive impression, coming across as entrepreneurial and enthusiastic, steadily building a strong niche market and global reputation for excellent coffee.

All Volcafe farms must comply with Volcafe Way standards & regulations. Our Farmer Support Organization (OAP) is in charge of providing technical assistance geared to continuously achieving the best sustainable quality of coffee considering the best social, environmental, economic & agricultural practices.

Jaguar Honey Process SHB EP Costa Rica Tarrazu and Tres Rios San Diego Mill - the most sustainable mill in America
Catuai
Honey Processed over 1500 masl 69 kgs Grain Pro cupping notes:
San Diego Honey Process combines the unique fruity flavors from Tarrazú terroir: prune, blackberry and chocolate with those given by this process: honey and sugar cane. San Diego Honey Process will have a long velvety but also smooth and delicate finish. What is Honey Process?
Why Honey Process?
It is a process that started in Costa Rica and has spread to other countries in Central America. In this process some or all of the mucilage of the coffee cherry – or simply coffee honey – that coats the parchment is left on during the drying stage, giving the coffee a sweeter taste close to natural processed coffee. From the tree to the Beneficios, the coffee is picked, depulped and moved to patios or african beds where it will stay at least one week drying until it has reached the desirable point according to temperature and humidity.
Some farmers choose this process because of the benefits it has in comparison with other drying processes. The water usage is lower than in other processes and due to a shorter fermentation period the coffee acquires an acidity halfway between natural and washed coffees. In other words, farmers can produce coffees with some of the unqiue characteristics of natural processed coffee in less time and with lower risks of unexpected effects such as over-fermentation.

Long, canoe shaped beans, selected for their abundance in rich flavours and elegant appearance, make this coffee unique to Indonesia and the world. The trees that produce this Geisha variety were discovered growing between two newer plantations of Timtim and Catimor. The farmers noticed that the trees were different and were producing a longer shaped bean. The trees are thought to have survived since the very first plantations by the Dutch, where most coffee plantations were wiped out by either leaf rust diseases or volcanic eruptions.
it’s all there
Over time the coop monitored the harvest from these trees, keeping it separate from their other coffee crops. Today they have established a harvest of just over 1 mt of the rare beans. Produced by small holding farmers who make up the Klassik Beans Cooperative in West Java, supply is small but of the best quality. The coffee is washed and sun dried, then handpicked for the best beans only before being packed in unique, bespoke cotton/canvas bags with GrainPro linings to ensure the coffee is preserved in optimum condition.

Located on red, fertile, volcanic soils on the foothills of the Aberdare Mountain ranges at altitudes of 1,500m - 1,700m, the SOCFINAF coffee estates are in an ideal environment for production of Arabica coffee.
Rainfall is almost 1,00mm per annum, spread over two rainy seasons which results in two overlapping crops on the trees. To maintain optimum flowering and yields, however, irrigation is used on all estates, drawing water from dams especially constructed on the many rivers and streams passing through this region.

cupping notes:
Raspberries, sweet bold, dark honey and caramels Gihombo Wet Mill is in western Rwanda, privately owned and has only been operating since 2011 although built in 2006. The station is supplied with fresh cherry near the shores of Lake Kivu, with coffee growing at altitudes between 1600-2000 masl. The mill uses a Penagos eco-pulper and ferments the coffee for 12 hours after which the wet parchment is left to dry naturally
on raised beds for 15-22 days. Last year the mill processed around 30 mt of parchment but 2013 has been less productive resulting in just 14 mt of parchment. Although productivity was lower this season the quality was higher, as is often the case with coffee crops.

Mondul Estate AA & AB Tanzania

1700 masl 60 kgs GrainPro / Available June
Situated 30km from the bustling town of Arusha, Mondul has the remote, romantic feeling of old Africa, yet still benefits from the modern advancements in agriculture without having to travel too far to get there. By sharing a border with the enormous Mondul Forest Reserve our neighbors are not only the Maasai people of local villages, but also the likes of buffalo, elephant and leopard. It is this atmosphere which makes Mondul an exciting place to grow coffee. With production on the rise, Mondul Cof-
fee Estates continue their vision of being the top producer of high-quality washed Arabica in Tanzania. As any farm, they face various agronomical, climatic and local challenges, but do so with vigour and enthusiasm. Strong attention to fertilizer and disease management are showing positive results in the field. Constant monitoring and evaluation goes into their most precious resource, water, as continue to develop the storage capacity on the farm. Mondul estate was selected as “Annual
coffee quality award” by TCA in 1998/99”
In the cup, medium acidity (malic) and a smooth body with promising flavor notes (honey and floral). Mondul Coffee Estate was established in 1931 by Count Vittorio Davico. His two sons are now running the Estate and pride themselves in producing the finest washed arabica coffee in Tanzania. Mondul Coffee Estate holds the Tanzania Coffee Assocation Quality Award for the 1998/99 and 2000/01 seasons. In March 2002 AFCA awarded the Estate the Certificate
of Recognition for presenting “qualifying fine coffee” at the AFCA Cupping Competition 2002 held in Kampala. The coffee is kept on a capped multiple-stem system and is rain-fed. Years of dedicated management have achieved average productions of 1500kg per ha with the following average grade percentage: AA 30%, AB 60%, PB 5%. The availability of clean spring water abstracted from the Monduli Forest Reserve contributes to the excellent quality of the coffee.

cupping notes:
Outstanding, bursting with fruity candy and chocolate, full bodied and exotic Yemen has one of the oldest relationships with coffee, like Ethiopia, with only a short stretch of water separating the two countries the terrain and varietals are very similar. Steep, arid mountainous land provides a breathtaking backdrop for Yemeni coffee farms. The farms are very basic and the coffee appears to be growing wild with absolute minimum input from man, this coffee, although not certified, can be considered to be grown organically. The harvest is gathered at peak ripeness to create this fine natural Yemen Mocha coffee.
