About This Coffee

This coffee is from Tanzania, specifically from the Oldeani region in Karatu. It is grown at an altitude of 1,750-1,850 meters above sea level. The variety is Kent, a type resistant to rust that produces smooth and balanced coffee. The coffee is washed processed, with cherries sorted in the field before pulping, followed by 12-13 hours of open fermentation, washing, and 13-16 days of bed drying until reaching 12% moisture content. Produced by Leon Christianakis at Acacia Hills. Harvested in 2023. Tasting notes include marzipan, black tea, and roasted apple. The coffee is described as sweet and full-bodied with balanced acidity.

Hola Coffee

Pablo Caballero and Nolo Botana had already built a track record in coffee when they launched Hola in 2016. The pair poured their accumulated experience into an operation built around quality, accessibility, and inclusivity. Coffee is roasted daily in small batches at the Sepulveda roastery in Madrid, ensuring beans are never more than a few days old at the point of sale. Their Lagasca location earned the number 12 spot on The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops 2025. Hola also runs an academy offering both its own certification and internationally recognized SCA credentials, alongside a podcast that has become a key part of the project. Seasonal coffees rotate through washed, natural, and experimental processes, producing a range from chocolatey depth to floral brightness.
