This coffee comes from Neel and Kavita Vohora. Their farm, Finagro in Karatuu, is 1750 MASL. The Vohoras incorporate a maceration period before processing. For the SL-28, they macerate the cherries on raised beds for 2-3 days before completing a 2-3 week drying process with the seeds still in the fruit. The dried coffee is placed in GrainPro and taken to Vohora's facility in Arusha, where it is sorted and milled. We get notes of strawberry jam and the subtle warmth of spiced pears cooked in sugar.
We recommend letting fresh coffee rest to allow the beans to stabilize. This will result in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimentals 15–30 days.
