Roaster notes
Makuriya Wako inherited his farm from his family and has expanded his land over the years to the current size of 3,895 hectares. \n\nMakuriya utilizes regenerative farming practices that protect and improve the soil. He has planted shade trees to protect coffee trees and improve coffee quality. He also selectively handpicks ripe, red cherries and processes them on his farm, placing the cherries on raised beds to sun dry. He often rakes the cherries to ensure even drying. Information on how long the drying process takes was incomplete.
Roaster
Redemption Roasters live up to their name. As the world's first prison based coffee roastery, they're committed to using coffee to help reduce reoffending in the UK. Their mission: they believe great coffee can come from people and places you wouldn't expect. At their roastery HQ in HMP The Mount in London, they train offenders in coffee industry skills with the aim of reducing reoffending in the UK. The coffee they work with is also exceptional: seasonal speciality only, sourced ethically. Each coffee they roast has a strong story too: from collectives working together to negotiate a fair price, to female-only growers challenging gender inequality. They partner with producers who are working hard to make a difference in their communities. The end result is a brew that’s helping raising the bar for all involved.
