What von&vonnie says about this coffee
Kitonya Farmers
A group lead by Rosemary Kezabu, who is a farmer herself, with 1,600 SL28 trees on Kitonya and Karangura hills. This is an area that has historically experienced difficulties accessing buying channels, as it was 3km from the nearest collection point in Nyabuswa. With the help of Eli (the founder of Empaako), a new buying channel has been created with a cherry collection center in Kitonya.
The coffee is a collection of the coffees from 17 different farmers contributing vastly different quantities of coffee, some giving as little as 2kg of cherry and others such as Rosemary giving nearly 2,500kg of cherry. Each farmer gets the same price per kg cherry delivered paid in full directly to the farmer.
This coffee is juicy and has a very delicate finish, a lot of fruits in the front with a complex tea like finish. This is a great coffee for those looking for a more sophisticated pourover.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
