"Abnormal Offerings for Coffee Lovers."
The Skeleton Key Series is a new set of small batch single origin offerings from Brass Ring Coffee. These are coffees that we find to be special or "abnormal" in some way or another. Some of these coffees may come from special farms, use experimental processing techniques, unique typicas, or just have an extremely special flavor or character. You can always count on a Skeleton Key coffee to transport you to somewhere special when you close your eyes to take the the first sip.

"In the past, Tanzanian coffee faced several hurdles. Farmers in the Mbeya region typically processed at home, with a depulping style akin to Indonesia’s wet hulling process. Unfortunately, this approach led to rapid aging of the coffees. The combination of less than ideal processing and unfavorable conditions at the hot, humid port city of Dar presented many challenges.
Thankfully, times have changed. Tanzanian coffee producers have embraced innovation, transitioning from the old depulping method to a clean washed process. This shift involves using Penagos ecopulpers and meticulously maintained clean washing channels, mirroring methods you’d find in coffee-producing regions like Kenya or Ethiopia. These investments in agronomic best practices combined with the unique varieties grown (mainly Kent, alongside hybrids and Bourbon mutations rarely found elsewhere) offer immense potential for speciality offerings out of Tanzania. ."
