CAMPBELL GRAPES, PINEAPPLE, TAMARIND, KUMATO

This is a coffee that will appeal to everyone, from existing Kenyan fans to those who didn't previously have a particular preference for Kenyan coffee. True to its Kenyan washed processing, it features tomato notes. It has a sweetness that is deeper and richer than a typical tomato, resembling a perfectly ripe black tomato. On top of that, it possesses the dense yet sweet juice-like sensation of Campbell grapes, as well as the sweet and sour notes of tropical fruits like pineapple. In terms of color, it brings to mind the deep purple and bright orange hues of a sunset.

Tamarind might be a bit unfamiliar to you, but in Korea, you can find it as a beverage at Vietnamese restaurants. It is a legume fruit with a sweet and sour taste, reminiscent of brown sugar. Once you try it, you will likely think, "Ah, so this is the taste." If you are visiting from Vietnam, it might even bring back a fond memory.

THE RESILIENCE AND STABILITY OF THE LUNGETTO COOPERATIVE

Coffee farmers in Kenya have established successful cooperatives. All members own very small plots of land, approximately 0.1 hectares in size, and raise coffee, tea, cattle, and chickens together. Since they do not have to rely on a single crop, they secure a stable income, and by using the compost from their cattle and chickens as fertilizer, they create an environmentally friendly and virtuous cycle.

The Lungetto Cooperative's dairy cooling facility processes over 120,000 liters of milk per month, making it the largest in Kenya. Additionally, extra income from fair trade is used to build cooperative-owned facilities, such as gas stations, and the profits generated from these facilities are used to further increase the income of the members.
