This is our first coffee from Tanzania and we are proud to say that it is awesome. This is a very clean and fruity cup with a brown sugar sweetness, and a tangy acidity balanced by a creamy body, reminiscent of fresh strawberries and cream. This coffee was produced by 200 smallholders in the village of Indunda, in the Mbeya region. It is a Bourbon sub-variety called N39, which was developed shortly after WWII. Cherries are picked on small plots (less than 1 acre on average) and taken to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) where the cherries are pulped in high tech mechanical pulpers, fermented, washed in channels and then finally placed on raised beds for sun drying. The CPU was founded in 1996 and has received training from both Technoserve and Kilicafe, two organizations dedicated to helping smallholders improve their standard of living through quality coffee.

This is a very special pulped natural from Brazil, and one of our first Direct Trade coffees.
Gabriel de Carvalho Dias is one of Brazil's leading agronomists, and Fazenda Cachoeira Da Grama has been in his family since 1890. Gabriel spends some of his time not far from here: he has a warehouse and a roasting facility near Oakville and we at Te Aro have had the pleasure of getting to know him and his wonderful coffee. We are very excited to be able to share this coffee with all of you.
Here is some information about the farm:
With a total area of 417 hectares, Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama has a coffee plantation area of 165 hectares. On this farm everything is done manually since its topography does not allow any kind of mechanisation. The mill is located close to the spa town of Poços de Caldas, 45 minutes from the farm.
Social and environmental sustainability is considered very important here. The farm has a programme of planting native species to maintain a better ecological balance. There is also a school, a club and an official size soccer field for the employees and workers. There are 47 houses, all with modern facilities. The waste water is treated to avoid polluting the stream that runs across the farm. The farm has a small hydroelectric plant and only buys energy during the peak harvest.
Some of the original Bourbon varietal trees are as much as 107 years old. The beans are harvested on a sheet and prepared by the ‘pulped natural’ process that separates the greens. After harvest the beans receive the maximum attention possible so as not to lose any of the body and cup qualities for which this region is famed.
In the cup look for a sticky sweet toffee and molasses aroma, with nutty undertones. A gentle acidity paired with a smooth and full body makes for a relaxing drinking experience. Finishes with chocolate, hints of vanilla and spices.

The AeroPress® has become the darling of coffee nerds and newbies alike due to it's versatility, portability, speed, and ease of cleanup.

Last year we had an exclusive lot from Ruvaldo Delarisse's famed "Plains of Iron" farm. This coffee got a lot of traction and was very versatile, working quite nicely in our Big Bro and standing on its own as a single origin. It was so spectacular, in fact, that one of our baristas chose it as his coffee for the regional competition last year, earning him a place in the Nationals.
We are proud to announce that Delarisse is back! In a different form, to be clear, but the attention to detail and expertise of Mr. Delarisse's operation are in full play again. Andy was able to visit the man himself in Brazil last year, and what he saw so impressed him that he just had to secure some more beans.
This lot is a pulped natural process, rather than the fully natural we had last year, so expect a little more acidity and complexity in the cup, with spicy notes and the characteristic dark fruit tones with caramel.

This coffee is special in that it is grown on an island in the middle of Lake Kivu in Rwanda. There are over 35000 trees planted in extensive shade of Bourbon (this lot) and other varietals that have big body and lots of sweetness in the cup.
This farm cultivates the coffee in accordance with organic practices and is currently in the process of being certified; being isolated from the mainland has another advantage in avoiding some of the natural pests that occasionally haunt Rwandan coffee (ie the Potato defect).
We have lightly roasted this coffee in order to preserve its character as it seems to be sensitive. Expect a melon and stone fruit (think peach) aroma with hints of sweet tobacco, loads of body and a mouth-watering acidity. Milk chocolate and cherry sweetness throughout.

The new kid on the block. This is a seasonal three bean blend of a washed Caturra from El Mirador in Colombia with a combination of two very fruity and floral heirloom varietals from Ethiopia: a washed Yirgacheffe and a natural Sidama. This blend is designed to be enjoyed as a straight shot of espresso yet we have found it to be quite mild and pleasant in a cappuccino. Bright, floral, effervescent with creamy body.
