Sepukila, Washed

Yellow plum, caramel & vanilla bean. 

From the southern highlands of Tanzania, this coffee comes from the Mbinga District in Ruvuma, a region known for its fertile, mineral-rich soils and ideal growing conditions. Produced by members of the Sepukila Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society, this lot reflects the collective efforts of smallholder farmers working together to improve quality and access to market. Careful cherry selection is followed by a traditional washed process, including fermentation and slow drying on raised beds, resulting in a clean and balanced cup. This coffee highlights the clarity and structure that Tanzanian washed coffees are celebrated for, while offering a softer, more rounded expression. In the cup, expect a smooth and approachable profile with notes of yellow plum, caramel and vanilla bean, delivering gentle sweetness and a lingering, comforting finish.
