Origin & Farm Notes
This coffee comes form the Mbewe washing station in Songwe, Mbozi and was founded in 2018. Initially, they purchased coffee from smallholders in the surrounding region that was home-processed on small pulping machinery. In 2024 they built out a wet mill so they could start buying cherry, and processing the coffee themselves. This allows for more systematic quality control that can start before the coffee is pulped of its cherries. It's also allowed them to expand their reach. They currently buy from just under 200 farmers, whose farms span an altitude range of 1600 to 1800 meters above sea level. The coffee is pulped of its fruit and then fermented for 24-36 hours prior to washing away the sticky mucilage layer. After the coffee is rinsed, it is moved to raised beds where it will dry in 1-2 weeks depending on sun exposure. This is the "AA" grade, which is a separation of the largest coffee seeds. Coffee plants produce a range of bean sizes and shapes (see our peaberry lot from this supplier), and mills use machinery and sieve screens to separate different size ranges, the most common Specialty grades being AA, AB, and Peaberry.
