We’re happy to have one of our favourite Belgian roasters in the box, MOK. They’re working with the same producers year after year to create long lasting relationships. Brew a cup and taste the development. MOK has a strong focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing, and works closely with coffee farmers to ensure that they receive fair prices for their beans.
FINCA FAMILIA RAMIREZ
Aeropress championships over the past years have allowed coffee aficionados to push boundaries. Brewing with this versatile device allows competitors to show their skills and aspire towards a perfectly balanced cup. For the 2022 edition we decided to choose a solid and uniform coffee which has structured acidity. This way, with different brewing technics a wider range of outcomes can be achieved. By choosing this shade-grown, fully-washed bourbon from Finca Familia Ramirez we once again want to emphasize that a well-produced ‘ordinary’ coffee, is in fact elegant and if brewed properly, is unforgettable.
RAIMUTIN
Having found its sovereignty in 2002, Timor-Leste is one of the world’s youngest countries. As the country finds stability, the development of the agriculture sector is rapidly becoming an important pillar for the structural transformation of the country’s economy. The Raimutin Wet Mill serves as a central hub for processing the cherry of the producers across the Ermera municipality. Sitting at 1400 MASL, the wet mill has served not only as a place to purchase, process, and dry cherry, but as a meeting point for the village chiefs and neighbourhood leaders.
NYAGISHIRU
Surrounded by 7000 trees, Nyagishiru can be found in the Buhinyuza Commune of the Muyinga Province of Burundi. The washing station processes coffee from almost 1850 families. These producers received a premium of 18% on top of the local market rate for their harvests, whilst the staff of the station earned almost 60% above the average labour rate. The station processes around 800 metric tons of cherry each year, dried across 270 raised beds. Interestingly, the relatively flat land here, makes the perfect conditions for the production of naturally processed coffee at good volumes.
