This coffee is sourced from the Gatura Processing Station in the Nyeri region of Kenya, situated at an altitude of 1700 meters. It is a natural processed coffee featuring the SL28 and SL34 varieties. The Gatura station, managed by the Rumukia Farmers Cooperative Society, benefits from mineral-rich volcanic soil and a favorable climate. The slow drying process contributes to denser beans and a refined, nuanced flavor profile. This lot is produced with careful attention to cherry selection and moisture monitoring.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
