This coffee is a single-origin selection from the Gicherori factory in Kibugu, Embu, Kenya. Operated by the Kibugu Farmers Cooperative Society, it is produced by smallholder farmers at an altitude of 1550 meters. The coffee consists of Batian, SL-28, SL-34, and Ruiru varieties and is processed using a fully washed method. It features a bright and zesty profile with distinct tasting notes of blackcurrant, apricot, and brown sugar. This lot is roasted to a medium level, specifically tailored for espresso brewing.
Established in 2007 by Mark Dundon and Bridget Amor, Seven Seeds was created to embody the ideals of exceptional and transparent coffee.A pioneer in Melbourne's coffee scene, the company's name honors the story of Baba Budan, who smuggled seven coffee seeds from Yemen, breaking the Arabic world's cultivation monopoly. Their approach is founded on transparency, and since 2018, they have published the "farmgate" price they pay directly to producers. They focus on building partnerships with producers, whom they see as professional colleagues.
