This Peaberry lot is sourced from the Mondomashe farmer group in the Mbozi district of Tanzania, where over 300 smallholder farmers across four villages contribute to its production. The coffee undergoes a fully washed process, including a 12-hour fermentation and meticulous hand sorting, before being dried on raised African beds. Peaberry beans are a natural rarity, consisting of a single seed formed inside the cherry, which results in a concentrated and complex cup. The flavor profile features notes of caramel, brown sugar, grapefruit, and red berries.
Winfield and Joy Durham founded Sisters Coffee Company in 1989 in the small town of Sisters, Oregon, starting with a five pound roaster after discovering their love for coffee while working in Alaska in 1984. They became the first specialty roasters in Central Oregon. In 2017, three of their children, Justin, Jared, and Jesse, took over leadership, making it a true multi generational family operation. Sisters roasts over 270,000 pounds annually on a 25 kilogram Probat roaster and maintains direct trade relationships with producers, traveling to origin three to four times a year. They were the first U.S. roaster to purchase directly from Aurelio Villatoro's Finca Villaure in Guatemala in 2004, a relationship that continues today.
