Kenya Nguvu
If it weren’t for Scott Labs and their mad scientist creating SL-28 and SL-34 coffee trees, we would not have this mouth exploding Kenya coffee. This coffee is franken-flavor: dreamy layers of vanilla orange cream, peachy acidity with a succulent body. Part of the flavor comes from the tree varieties, which were created by Scott Labs, and part is from the extra fermentation and water bath during the processing of the beans. It’s wicked approachable; not tomato soup here. This specific Kenya is part of the Bloom project, an initiative that offers six areas of expertise to the co-op members including field agriculture experts, social and environmental criteria, finance opportunities and more. Drink more. Buy more. Do more.
About Our Coffee
Organic
Certified organic coffee is produced according to sustainable practices, without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or other harmful agrochemicals. In order for a coffee to be certified organic, the farm must undergo evaluation from an independent certifying agency. The U.S. has its own organic standards, requiring a roasting facility to be annually inspected and certified in order to be labeled ’organic.’
Fair Trade
Fair Trade USA enables sustainable development and community empowerment by cultivating a more equitable global trade model that benefits farmers, workers, consumers, industry and the earth. We achieve our mission by certifying and promoting Fair Trade products.
Shade Grown
A traditional farming method in which coffee trees are grown alongside other crops under a canopy of taller trees. The mixture of vegetation prevents erosion and protects the coffee from harsh weather. Shade grown farms also provide vital wildlife habitat.
