FROM THE ROASTER

THE PEOPLE OF BANKO TARATU LIVE IN CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITIES WHERE COFFEE FARMING IS A PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME, HARVESTING CHERRIES BY HAND AS A COMMUNAL EFFORT. FOR THIS LOT, CHERRIES ARE PULPED, FERMENTED 48 TO 72 HOURS, GIVEN A SECOND FERMENTATION OF 12 TO 24 HOURS, THEN DRIED 12 TO 15 DAYS ON RAISED BEDS. WE ARE EXCITED TO WELCOME BACK BANKO TARATU WITH THE 2026 HARVEST OF THEIR WASHED LANDRACE, FULL OF CLEMENTINE, YELLOW PEACH, AND DELICATE WHITE TEA.
