Kenya Karatina AB comes from the area around the town of Karatina in Nyeri County, specifically the Barichu region in Mathira.

The coffee trees grow at an elevation of around 1 ,650 meters above sea level, and the lot consists of the SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11 varieties. Ripe cherries are processed using the washed method and then slowly dried on raised beds. In the cup, notes of raspberries, elderflower, and black currants emerge, creating a fresh, clean, and distinctly fruity profile.
Ethiopia Chelbesa comes from the Chelbesa station in the Gedeb region, which is managed by Ephtah Specialty Coffee in collaboration with local smallholder farmers.
