The work you can still taste
Click a scene to read who is in it — mill, beds, and the cupping table.
Women who turn the harvest. Seasonal work on the raised beds is mostly women. They sort, turn, and watch moisture until the parchment is clean and stable.
The station team. Cherry is floated, pulped, and fermented the same morning it arrives. The mill team keeps the lot notes attached from tank to bag.
Cupping together. Sample roast, score, and talk. Quality is a conversation between the station, the lab, and the people who will roast the coffee.
Quality first
Cupping, moisture checks, and lot notes stay attached from the bed to the bag.
Farmers at the centre
Partner hills and women producers keep the harvest honest — and keep the story true.
