Curiosity got the better of us, so we decided to roast it and see what time, cold storage, and a little patience had done. Honestly, we weren’t sure what to expect. Green coffee is alive in its own way, and aging is usually not kind. But this lot surprised us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eIn the cup, it still carries the unmistakable elegance of Nyeri: delicate notes of blueberry tea, soft citrus, and a refined sweetness that lingers gently. It is not loud or showy. Instead, it is graceful, composed, and quietly beautiful — the kind of coffee that rewards a little attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThis lot comes from 1,126 family-owned farms delivering coffee to the Ichamama Factory, a wet mill in Kenya’s celebrated Nyeri region, nestled along the fertile foothills of the Aberdare mountain range. The mill is managed by the Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society, founded in 1956 with just 250 members. Today, the cooperative has grown to nearly 15,000 members and supports more than 14,500 families through coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eMost farmers in this area cultivate small half-acre plots, averaging around 250 coffee trees each, often shaded by banana, grevillea, and macadamia trees. Across the cooperative, varieties such as SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, and Batian grow over roughly 2,370 acres. The society now operates 19 wet mills, a dry mill, and administrative offices, creating both permanent and seasonal employment in the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eWe are offering this coffee because it sparked our curiosity, and we thought it might spark yours, too. It is a rare chance to taste how carefully frozen green coffee evolves over time — not as an experiment in theory, but as something alive in the cup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eDelicate, citrusy, and quietly complex, this is a coffee with a story worth tasting, and a reminder that sometimes the best discoveries are the ones we almost forgot were there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhole Bean Coffee, Roasted to Perfection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose your bag size above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur labels now feature both filter and espresso symbols, reflecting a simple truth: our coffees are crafted to shine with any brewing method.
