One origin. One month. Gone when it's gone. October's Reserve is built around fruit, clarity, and the lively acidity that makes high-elevation Kenyan coffee immediately recognizable. Kenya Nyeri Gura Peaberry comes from approximately 500 smallholder producers who deliver freshly harvested coffee cherries to the Gura Factory in Nyeri County. SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian varieties grow between 1,700 and 1,890 meters in mineral-rich volcanic loam. At the factory, the cherries are fermented, washed, soaked, and sorted by density. The coffee is then slowly dried on raised beds for two to three weeks. This fully washed process produces a clean cup with clearly separated fruit notes. Blackberry and kiwi lead into ripe mango sweetness, followed by refreshing mint and a clean, white-wine-like finish. Common Questions What does this month's Reserve taste like? Juicy blackberry and kiwi appear first, followed by ripe mango sweetness. A refreshing mint note and clean, white-wine-like brightness carry through the finish. What is a peaberry? Most coffee cherries develop two seeds with flat inner sides. A peaberry forms when the cherry develops one small, rounded seed instead. Peaberries are separated from standard coffee beans during sorting and are prized for their lively, concentrated cup character. What is the Gura Factory? In Kenya, a factory is a local coffee-processing station rather than a conventional manufacturing plant. Approximately 500 smallholder producers deliver their harvested cherries to the Gura Factory for sorting, fermentation, washing, soaking, and drying. How is this coffee processed? This is a fully washed coffee. After the fruit is removed, the coffee is fermented, thoroughly washed, soaked, and sorted by density. It is then dried slowly on raised beds for two to three weeks. This process emphasizes clarity, acidity, and distinct fruit notes. Does the white-wine note mean alcohol is added? No. “White wine” describes the coffee's clean acidity and fruit-like finish. No wine, alcohol, fruit, mint, or artificial flavoring is added. What's the best brew method for this coffee? Pour over will provide the clearest separation between the blackberry, kiwi, mango, and mint notes. AeroPress produces a sweeter, more concentrated cup, while drip brewing gives you a balanced version of the complete flavor profile. Is this coffee organic? This coffee is conventionally produced and is not listed as certified organic. Its strongest distinctions are its high elevation, peaberry selection, fully washed processing, and traceable connection to the Gura Factory. Is this coffee more acidic than a dark roast? Yes. This medium-light roast preserves more of the coffee's natural fruit character and lively acidity. It is intended for customers who enjoy expressive, fruit-forward coffee rather than the heavier, lower-acidity profile of a dark roast. What happens to the Reserve next month? The Reserve rotates to a new coffee every month. When October's Kenya Nyeri Gura Peaberry is gone, it will be replaced by the November release. Subscribe to the rotation if you want the next coffee without having to check back. Is the Reserve a good gift? Yes, especially for someone who enjoys exploring distinct origins and processing methods. This release is best suited to coffee drinkers who appreciate lively acidity and pronounced fruit notes.

SHELLBACK is single origin from Sidama. Family farms in the Oromia zone. Grown at 2,000-2,200 meters. Natural sun drying at a local cooperative. The same way it's been done for centuries. Natural processing means the whole coffee cherry is dried before the bean is removed. Slower. Harder. Adds complexity you can't fake with shortcuts. The berry and wine-like notes come from the coffee plant pulling flavor from the fruit during the drying process. This is what heirloom Sidamo varietals taste like when they're processed right and not roasted into charcoal. Why Ethiopia matters: Coffee started here. The plants are wild heirloom varieties that don't exist anywhere else. This isn't a commodity crop farmed for maximum yield - it's grown on family farms by people who've been doing this for generations. Who this is for: Pour over drinkers. Single origin explorers. Anyone who wants to taste what coffee was before the world commercialized it. Origin: Sidama, Ethiopia (2,000-2,200m elevation)Process: Natural sun drying (traditional method)
