This coffee is an AA grade selection from the Karimikui Washing Station in the Kirinyaga region of Kenya, grown at an altitude of 1650 meters. It is produced by the Rung'eto Farmers Cooperative Society, which represents over 1,000 smallholder farmers. The coffee consists of SL28 and SL34 varieties, processed using a washed method. It features a flavor profile with notes of cherry and currant, offering a bright acidity and a jammy mouthfeel with a full body and a long, dense finish.
Kaj and Dan founded Haella around 2019 in Vastaras, setting up a micro roastery inside the Halla Shopping center. The format is intentionally accessible: specialty coffee in a place people already go, rather than tucked away in an industrial zone. They roast weekly, favoring light profiles at temperatures between 185 and 210 degrees Celsius, with most batches finishing in 8 to 11 minutes. What sets Haella apart is the hands on experience it offers. Customers can book sessions where they learn about coffee, taste multiple varieties, and roast their own beans, with food and fika included. Everything is built around the idea that each bean carries a distinct character and story worth discovering.
