This coffee is from Ishando Amcos cooperative in Tanzania's Songwe region, specifically in the Mbozi area at 1610 meters altitude. It is a washed coffee made from Bourbon Peaberry and N39 Peaberry varieties. The cooperative, founded in 2018, has grown to 125 members and processes cherries using water from the nearby River Dogo. The coffee undergoes a meticulous washed process including 24-hour fermentation without water, followed by washing and a 12-hour soak. This results in a clean, vibrant cup with complex and well-balanced flavours.
