INTRO
Henry and Verena Gaibor first met in Bujumbura, Burundi whilst volunteering together for Doctors Without Borders in 1996. Two years later, they decided to move to Henry's home country of Ecuador to start a clinic together in Quito. After operating that clinic for over 13 years, Henry and Verena decided to purchase land and start farming coffee, and so Finca Maputo was born.
THE PRODUCER
At 1,300 MASL near the border of Colombia in La Perla, Nanegal, their farms have a very specific microclimate, often covered in fog and experiencing very low evening temperatures. The leadership at Finca Maputo credits the labour of their picking team as its most important asset, hiring the same pickers year over year and encouraging them to have a sense of community and ownership at the farm. This dedication leads to impeccable sorting and cherry selection, further contributing to the very high quality ceiling at Finca Maputo.
THE CUP
In the cup, we find an abundance of tart white grapes and beautifully layered jasmine florals. As it cools, a bright red cranberry sweetness rises to the surface, alongside rooibos tea and red currant.
Flavour Notes
- 🍬 Cane Sugar
- 🍇 White Grape
- 🍵 Rooibos
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-12 weeks.
