Around 1,700 smallholder producers deliver cherry to the Karumandi washing station in the Kenya highlands, where high altitude, rich soil, and cool climate create ideal growing conditions. The washed processing includes a 24-hour dry fermentation followed by washing and soaking, then drying on raised beds. This method helps develop the coffee's lush honey sweetness and sparkling acidity, bringing out bright peach and sweet cranberry in a juicy, vibrant cup.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters were among the pioneers who kickstarted the Third Wave coffee scene when Duane Sorenson opened up shop in Portland back in 1999. Early on they implemented a Direct Trade model, visited farms personally and build long-term relationships with growers. Their roasting style hits a famous sweet spot, aiming for a rich, developed profile that still lets the bean’s natural fruit and floral notes shine. They really back up their cool, indie reputation with hard data, operating as a certified B Corp to ensure their environmental footprint and social impact are transparent.
