A note from our supplier, Sucafina:
The coffee from Ngororero washing station has been lauded worldwide for its superb quality and taste. Awards aside, Ngororero is a washing station to keep a close eye on. After purchasing cherry from producers, Ngororero sends cherry through a strict sorting process. First, washing station staff remove any lower quality cherry through flotation. Then, a specially trained staff visually inspects the remaining cherry for any visual defects. After sorting, cherry is pulped on a Pinhalese pulper that removes up to 80% of the mucilage before fermentation. Parchment is then fermented for 10 hours before being laid out to sun dry on raised beds. While drying, parchment will be regularly sorted to remove imperfections and sifted to ensure even drying.
Our coffee comes in craft paper bags which contain a plastic liner on the inside to guarantee freshness of our coffee. Please dispose properly at your local plastic trash container. The Village Coffee is roasted fresh every week, and best consumed within four weeks after roast date. Store your coffee in a dry, dark and cool place, avoid the fridge.
