Every month we will bring you two brand new, truly exceptional coffees. Bringing together bright and vibrant coffees from producers that we work closely with, always in line with the changing seasons. This box is an opportunity for us to share our most exciting micro-lots, never repeating a coffee within a calendar year. We roast and ship these coffees at the beginning of each month so all new orders placed will be not be shipped immediately.
Box 034 will be dispatched on Monday the 3rd of November. Each year, we get so excited for East African coffees arriving at the roastery, bringing with them their unique, vibrant fruit and floral profiles. We’ve been lucky to have some truly exceptional coffees this year, and we’ve chosen two really beautiful examples for this Round Hill Box.

AB Gakundu
In the fertile highlands near Mount Kenya at 1,650 masl, the Gakundu Coffee Factory is managed by the Gakundu Farmers’ Cooperative Society. Coffee is harvested by hand, and delivered to the factory on the same day. Cherries are then sorted by hand to remove any underripe or defective fruit, and are then pulped. The resulting parchment coffee undergoes fermentation to break down mucilage, after which it is graded. Kenyan coffee grades (AA, AB, C etc) refer to this stage, where the green coffee is sorted by size, with AA being the largest beans. The coffee is then thoroughly washed and slowly sun-dried on raised beds to reach a moisture content of 10.5%.

Dhilgee Banko Gotiti
This coffee was grown in the lush, high altitude landscapes of Banko Gotiti, located in the Gedeb woreda of Yirgacheffe. Cultivated by smallholder farmers who tend plots of 1 to 2 hectares at 1950-2100 masl, these farmers maintain traditional ‘coffee gardens’ intercropped with bananas and native shade trees. This district is celebrated for producing some of the best Ethiopian coffees, showcasing the vibrant citrus notes and characteristic florals we look forward to every year. This coffee was processed at a washing station owned by Wete Ambela Coffee Export PLC, a company founded in 2018 by Mekuria Mergia
