This coffee is from Kenya, specifically from the Kirinyaga region at 1400 meters altitude. Produced by the Inoi Farmers Cooperative at the Kaguyu Station. The varieties include SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru-11, and Batian. It is washed processed coffee with a filter roast. The profile features black currants balanced with bright, rhubarb-like acidity and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel reminiscent of custard. The Kaguyu Factory provides supportive, regenerative, and emergency funding for cooperative members, and actively encourages reforestation and incentives for resource and waste-water management.

Quo Coffee Roasters was founded in late 2024 in Skarhamn, Sweden, by Christian Gullbrandsson, Sarah Gerlam Madura, and Hayden Moyle, a team with more than 40 years of combined specialty coffee experience. The roastery sources 100 percent specialty grade coffee through direct trade, and became the first Nordic partner in Clean Ocean's sail freight initiative, shipping green coffee by sailboat to reduce its carbon footprint. Quo roasts to accentuate each bean's natural character, treating transparency and sustainability as foundational commitments rather than afterthoughts. The company's name is a challenge to the status quo, reflecting its founders' belief that the specialty coffee industry can do better on equity and environmental impact.
