This coffee is produced by smallholding farmers in the Nyeri district of Kenya. Processed at the Kagumoini washing station, this coffee is known for its big sweetness, bold acidity, and rich body. The flavor profile features notes of blackberry, cherry, and flan.
Founded in 2005 in Olympia, Washington, Olympia Coffee became a meaningful chapter in specialty coffee history when Oliver Stormshak and Sam Schroeder joined and acquired the company in 2010. Operating a 23 kilo Gothot and 70 kilo Loring roaster, they pioneered the Fair For All direct trade program in 2018, paying more than double Fair Trade rates (averaging $4.54 per pound compared to the $1.73 C Market standard). This commitment to transparency appears in annual reports and is backed by B Corp certification with an impressive 90.9 score. Every bag is roasted to order daily, ensuring uncompromising freshness, and their portfolio reflects multiple competition wins across specialty categories.
