CUP CHARACTERISTICS:

In the cup, a muted orange citrus plays with the bright bitters of a grapefruit. This coincides with the juiciness of a plum, and is underpinned with a black tea finish. We love this coffee, and it's great quality is only made better by the wonderful cooperative that produced it.

Learn More About This Coffee

The Abateraninkunga ba Sholi cooperative (meaning 'mutual assistance') was originally established in 2008 by 30 women and received official recognition in 2013. In 2014 they received funding to build their own washing station, and in 2015 received their Fair Trade certification. Today, the cooperative continues to grow, now constituting 619 members, 241 of which are women.
In recent years, the cooperative started a community transformation program aimed to help 70 young mothers from the ages of 18-25. The program is designed to teach them how to save, includes small savings and credit groups, and gifts them a collective coffee field. All sales of cherry from this field go directly to the women.
