Coffee

Kibiru AB

Flavors of berry, peach and caramel. Kibiru is a washing station in the area of central Kenya known as thika and is part of the award-winning gitwe society cooperative. This is only kibiru's second harvest season. While most washing stations in Kenya are operating with decades-old equipment, kibiru was opened as a brand new facility 2016 by gitwe society after their karatu station won a good food award. We feel like we have found a great partner in kibiru. They are still very small and boutique in their operation and practices, receiving and processing coffee from only about 80 individual farmers. This year we purchased their aa, ab and peaberry coffees. Kibiru's high altitude and acidic soil help to generate a sweeter and more vibrant coffee in the cup. This is a selection of kibiru's ab grade coffee a medium bean size in Kenya grading system.

The creation of the san sebastian reserva project is intended to develop lasting, quality-focused relationships between farmer and roaster. In order to ensure that we are working in tandem with our growers, the project incorporates a staff cupper in Colombia who works with both farmer and roaster; hundreds of samples of coffees fresh from harvest sent to olympia coffee to be cupped every week throughout the 2 growing seasons in la plata; and multiple farm visits from the staff of olympia coffee.

Jasmine Green Tea by Rishi (55 g. Tin)

Jasmine blossoms are gathered during midsummer evenings and spread amongst tea leaves over several successive nights. Because dried tea leaves are hydroscopic, they readily absorb floral essences like jasmine. Our jasmine green features a base tea grown by our partners at the xuan en yisheng tea cooperative, which is prized for its high mountain character and elegant sweetness. Refreshingly fragrant, jasmine has been regarded as the perfect digestif tea for centuries. Tasting notes: fresh and soothing green tea scented with the enchanting aroma of jasmine blossoms ingredients: organic and fair trade certified™ green tea with jasmine.
