About the Beans:

This coffee comes from Kenyan entrepreneur Gloria and her Finnish husband Jarmo. They run Sakami Coffee, one of the most environmentally sustainable farms in the country, with a wet mill powered fully by solar panels.

The Sakami farm is creating "agroforestry" by intercropping macadamia trees between coffee, protecting all indigenous trees in and around the farm, protecting the wetland by not interfering on it, leaving natural bush sections in and around the coffee trees, having beehives around the farm, and avoiding the use of pesticides or herbicides.

Gloria’s Coffee has the typical bright fruit notes that you would expect from a Kenyan coffee, but because of more cultivars than just SL 28, and because Sakami is located in a less common terroir and climate, you find somewhat thicker body and more chocolaty, praline notes in these washed gems.
