Duromina Lot 9

Washed Ethiopia

This coffee is a bright and delicate offering that is perfect for a hot July release! It is from the Duromina washing station with a cooperative comprised of over 100 smallholder farmers. Before the cooperative, the region had poor quality due to the lack of quality control and delays in processing. Technoserve was able to help secure funding and training necessary for the cooperative to build the wet mill which greatly improved the quality of the coffees and thus the premium they could earn. The name Duromina translates roughly as "to improve their lives."

Karindundu AB

Washed Kenya

This coffee is a great 'archetype' of how juicy and complex a washed Kenya AB can be. Fittingly crisp for the summer, the mouth-watering acidity should make for a fantastic iced coffee."

From Red Fox Coffee Merchants:

Karindundu is a Kikuyu word meaning “the wrapped”, inspired by the Kikuyu and Ukabi war over land issues in regards to migration in the old days. Within the vicinity, there is a famous open-air market and several hotels that cater to visitors. About 400 farmers contribute cherry to this factory resulting in 300 tonnes of cherry delivered per year.
