About This Coffee

A rare and refined Geisha coffee from Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater, grown at 1,620-1,850 meters altitude on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. This washed coffee enchants with delicate floral aromas, red currant, and hints of stone fruit. Notes of brown sugar and candied lemon unfold across a tea-like, silky mouthfeel, culminating in a graceful, lingering finish. The coffee is produced by the Vohora family on Gaia and Edelweiss Estates, harvested from June to November.

Cypher Urban Roastery

Mohamad Merhi, a former finance professional turned certified Q Grader, founded Cypher Urban Roastery in Dubai's Al Quoz Industrial Area in 2016. The facility runs Probat roasters fitted with a custom cooling system designed in house, alongside a cupping lab equipped with Marco water systems and Mahlkonig EK43 grinders. Cypher operates as both a green coffee trader and a roaster, managing over 30 tons of coffee annually and holding Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, and USDA Organic certifications across parts of its sourcing. A notable focus on rare Yemeni lots led to securing the seventh ranked coffee at the 2021 Best of Yemen auction, scoring 88.9. The company also runs the Cypher School of Coffee, offering SCA and CQI certified training, and its Nabtih sustainability initiative repurposes jute transport bags into planters for edible herbs grown alongside the roastery.
