Description
This coffee tastes like blackcurrant and lime with an orange sweetness
About the producers:
Ngamba – pronounced ‘gamba’ – is a 13-acre farm owned by James Kinyua Kimotho. James inherited the estate from his parents, who established it as a cash-crop farm in the 1960s. He has since invested in the staff and infrastructure needed to greatly improve coffee quality and produce specialty-grade beans.
To help him achieve this, James enlisted the help of William Mugo Wjiru, who manages the farm. William is extremely talented and knowledgeable. He has over 40 years of experience working with coffee, and he is an expert in coffee processing and fermentation.
Like many farms in the region, Ngamba used to sell its coffee to a local cooperative. Ten years ago, however, James decided to build his own wet mill on-site so he and his team could have full oversight and quality control. It was a major risk and financial investment, but happily the benefits have far outweighed the costs, and Ngamba is now producing exceptionally sweet and clean coffees, like this one.
There is a lot to love about these Melbournian roasters but their sustainability practices and values are what really impressed us. No newbies to the coffee roasting game – they have been around since 2009 and from the beginning, have been committed to quality, transparency, sustainability and using business for good. These principles have a real impact on the way they buy coffee, the people they work with, and how they run their business.
We love how Market Lane Coffee goes about all their sourcing to ensure the best quality and support all for all the peeps involved.. It’s so up our alley!
“Our commitment to quality extends beyond coffee and into every part of our business – from our packaging choices, the milk we source from Schulz Organic Dairy and the organic Dulce sugar we buy from Costa Rica through to the way we hire and train staff, and the hospitality we extend to each customer, during every visit to our shops..”-Market Lane Coffee
