Cheri
Our only natural process coffee bean, this one is grown in Ethiopia’s Guji Zone. As exaggerated as it may sound, our chief roaster calls Cheri “strawberry quik”, in a nod to its very fruity and unique flavor profile. The natural process nature of it gives it a much fruitier sweetness, very distinct from the other beans we currently offer. The Cheri isn’t intended to be drowned in cream and sugar, it is absolutely meant to be enjoyed in a pure form, as a pour over or even espresso. Its as far from a dark roasted bean you’d find in a large coffee chain as possible.
The bean are grown in the Hagermaryam ward part of Ethiopia’s Guji Zone, at an elevation of 6,000 feet. There are roughly 700 different farmers who supply beans to the Cheri processing station.
Cheri beans spend 21-24 days on raised drying beds, and spend no time being bathed in water to remove the cherry fruit from the bean. Thus giving Cheri its distinct fruitier flavor.

Select optionsRumibamba – Organic – Washed
$21.00 – $105.00Our second offering from Peru, this one is an Organic bean, with a flavor profile of a classic South American roast, the one your mom and dad would have loved if third wave coffee existed back then. A mix of dark and milk chocolate, and caramelized sugar, are the clear flavor profiles with this Andes Mountain roast. There is nice secondary flavor of Turkish fig and Medjool dates, which makes for a nice balanced, if not mellow finish. If you aren’t quite ready for the bright, citrus flavors from Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda, this is the one to start with, especially if you take your mornings a little slow and easy.
These organic beans are grown in the Department of Cajamarca, located in the northwest of the country, in a town called San Ignacio. Cajamarca’s tradition of producing coffee beans dates to the 18th century, when coffee was first brought to the area to be grown. Located at between 4,500 to 5,100 feet in elevation, the town is charmingly known as the “land of coffee, honey and natural forests”. Interestingly, the town is located at nearly the identical distance from the equator as Ethiopian and Colombian coffee, albeit on the southern side of the divide.
Rumibamba is a washed process bean. The ripest cherries are selected by the over 2,400, typically small co-operative farmer/members of CENFRO. The small scale nature of most of the farmers results in manual de-pulping, home-built dryers and roadside parchment drying beds throughout the region of plantations.

Before I get to the coffee review I wanted to applaud the customer service I received through the facebook messenger. To the person that responds you are worth you weight in gold. Sweet, knowledgable and professional. Very personable. Now the coffee review. The coffee was professionally packaged with lots of visual appeal to those coffee shops looking for someone to partner with to sell whole bean. The roast was very consistent, No drum scorches etc. The coffee itself is a high quality green bean that was well sorted. No dead, bitter beans in the bags I looked through. Taste was right on point. Not overly roasted but well developed. Acidity was perfect. Good strong fruity flavor with a nice backbone to balance out the cup. I was overall very please with the “total” package split rail coffee company.
