Behind the Bean:

In 2019, producer Ben Mukhone saw an opportunity to locate a washing station in amongst some of the best coffee cherry in the mountain and this natural lot comes from 214 small holder farmers selling directly to the station.
Bukalasi is yet still harder to access, and its climate is cooled by the Kapkwai Forest, it has some of the sweetest coffees we’ve tasted on the mountain.

Ben Mukhone purchases the coffee cherry either at his washing station or a designated buying centre in Bukalasi before it is transported to the foot of the mountain, to a town called Busoba, where it is dried as a natural process.
This lot is a Natural – dried on raised beds, when coffee reaches 15% moisture content it is removed from the beds and placed into sealed containers for two days before finishing the drying process under shade.
