Gura AA is a washed coffee from Kenya's Nyeri County, processed at Gura Wet Mill located along the Gura River. The coffee comes from smallholder farmers growing on the slopes of the Aberdare Mountains at 1800-2000 meters altitude, in an area between the Aberdare Massif and Mount Kenya. The coffee consists of the classic Kenyan varieties SL-28 and SL-34. Hand-picked cherries undergo traditional washed processing with fermentation, washing in river water, and slow sun-drying on raised beds. The coffee features tropical flavors of mango and pineapple, berry notes of blackberry and red cherry, and a finish reminiscent of brown sugar. The cup is both fresh and full-bodied with elegant balance between acidity and sweetness. Scored 87.5/100.

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.
