Coffee is a
relatively new crop in Nepal, offering great
promise for the future in this tiny, yet
most enchanting mountain kingdom. Beneath
her icy Himalayan peaks lay lush, fertile
valleys, perfect for growing some of the
world’s finest shade-grown Arabica coffees. |
|
|
Our Nepalese
coffee is organically grown at an altitude
of 2,200 – 2,400 feet in the foothills of
the Ganish Himal mountain range. The beans
are ripened in the thin Himalayan air under
sunlit azure skys and a canopy of shade
trees. Once harvested, the beans are washed
with water from the snow-fed Trisuli river
and sun-dried. |
|
|
For our
Annapurna Blend we skillfully
blend our Nepalese beans with 100% organic,
fair trade coffees, resulting in a medium
bodied, smooth cup. This is truly a rare and
exquisite treat. |
|
|
Available as
ground or whole bean, our coffee is fresh
roasted in small, 30-lb batches. |

Few places on
Earth stir such wanderlust as the rarified,
sunlit slopes of Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Its indigenous Chagga farmers have been
perfecting the cultivation of perhaps the
world’s finest volcanic coffee for over a
century under lush canopies of banana trees,
as members of the Kilimanjaro Native
Cooperative Union, Africa’s oldest coffee
cooperative, established in 1924. |
|
|
The KNCU
collects coffee from 96 village societies,
representing over 150,000 small scale local
farmers. In addition to earning a reputation
and numerous awards for its distinctive
Kilimanjaro coffee, prized for its body,
acidity and flavor unique to the mountain’s
volcanic soils, the KNCU supports the
community through educational, environmental
and micro-financing initiatives. |

Bereft of the
oil resources and wealth common to many Arab
nations, Yemen is rich with magnificent and
captivating natural wonders which far
surpass her neighbors. It is awe inspiring,
considering our western dependence on
technology, that coffee there is grown and
processed in much the same way is has been
for 500 years and that for the most part, it
remains harmonious to both the culture and
the environment. |
|
|
Typically,
coffee in Yemen is grown on spectacular
terraces clinging to dusty mountainsides,
below ancient geometric villages. The misty
summer rains arrive as the coffee trees are
blossoming and their fruit is forming,
bringing the hills to life with multitudes
of small but lush leafy green trees. As
autumn approaches, the air dries and the
fruit ripens, is picked, and then set out to
dry on nearby rooftops. |
|
|
For our Kaveh
Kanes Blend we skillfully blend our Yemenese beans with 100%
organic, fair trade coffees, resulting in a
wonderfully bold, complex and deeply
satisfying cup. This coffee is very rare. |
|
|
Available as
ground or whole bean, our coffee is fresh
roasted in small, 30-lb batches. |
