"This Zambian lot is an anaerobic natural. Anaerobic fermentation is a borrowed processing method from the wine industry, in which the whole grapes are fermented for a few days without direct contact of oxygen before mashing into grape juice for fermentation. In the coffee industry, cherries are enclosed in a tank, and the tank is tightly sealed to prevent the entry of oxygen.
With the high initial water activity and sugars in the fruit pulp, yeast fermentation leads to the production of metabolites that initiate the production of unique aroma compounds during roasting.
Kateshi coffee estate, as one of the first coffee estates in Zambia, was established in 1972 close to Kateshi village. Back then, its wet processing facilities represented the heart of coffee production in northern Zambia having been the central mill for all coffee produced in the region. It is also award-winning; its natural and honey placing both 1st and 2nd in Zambia's annual Taste of Harvest competition.
Local Community is at the heart of the estate's vision. Covoya provides daily access to safe drinking water to over 20,000 locals and supports 3 schools that provide 1,500+ students with primary and secondary education. Also on site is our health clinic, the only such facility for 30km. Complete with a pharmacy and delivery room, the clinic provides free basic healthcare to over 4,000 community members and sees an average of 95 visitors per day.
Kateshi has been recognized for boldly challenging gender stereotypes in Zambia, being the first and only coffee estate to employ women for traditionally male-dominated roles such as driving tractors, bull-dozers and road graders."

"Currently, Mitawa AMCOS splits their output between home-processed coffees and lots produced at its washing station, or Centralized Processing Unit (CPU). At Mitawa's CPU, farmers from the surrounding villages deliver cherry in the afternoons and early evenings, with the pulper running late into the night. After the coffee is sorted and graded, it dries on raised beds for 14 to 21 days, as the area is a slightly more humid."

"Hondurans coffee really tend to shine with the decafs – smooth, rich and chocolaty while naturally being lower acidity. The water process: The green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that draw out the caffeine while minimizing the loss of flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the extract solution is filtered of its caffeine and recycled to be used again.."

About the coffee:
"Sourced from the elevated terrains of Buesaco Nariño in southern Colombia, this exquisite coffee is cultivated at over 2,000 meters above sea level on average. Buesaco's unique geographic and climatic conditions, characterized by volcanic soil and an average temperature of 18.6 °C, provide an optimal environment for producing coffee with distinct mild taste, high acidity, and sweet notes.
The region’s coffee cultivation heritage dates back to the 18th century, growing over time to become an integral part of the local cultural, economic, and social fabric. With its first international exposure in the early 20th century, Buesaco Nariño's coffee has since been celebrated in the specialty coffee segment worldwide for its unparalleled quality, cultivated in the unique environmental conditions of the region."
