Rwanda Bugoyi Station
Price range: RM 70.00 through RM 210.00
Plum, Blackcurrant, Rock Sugar
Bugoyi Station, situated along the shores of Lake Kivu in Rwanda’s Western Province, has become a cornerstone of the country’s specialty coffee movement. Owned and operated by Baho Coffee since 2016, the station works closely with smallholder farmers who typically manage just a few hundred trees intercropped with food crops. The combination of high altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and the cooling winds from Lake Kivu creates ideal conditions for cultivating Red Bourbon, a varietal long associated with Rwanda’s reputation for balanced, complex coffees. Farmers deliver ripe cherries to Bugoyi, where careful sorting and processing ensure that each lot reflects the station’s commitment to quality and community development.
The natural process used at Bugoyi allows whole cherries to dry slowly on raised beds, concentrating sugars and enhancing fruit clarity. This method, paired with the terroir, produces coffees that are vibrant and fruit-forward, often showing notes of red berries, tropical fruit, and citrus, supported by bright acidity and layered sweetness. Beyond flavor, Bugoyi Station represents the resilience and dedication of Rwandan coffee producers, who continue to elevate the country’s profile on the global stage. Each cup from Bugoyi is not only a sensory experience but also a testament to the farmers’ skill and the station’s role in sustaining livelihoods and preserving Rwanda’s coffee heritage.

Brazil Fazenda Dutra Jatoba
Caramel, Roasted Almonds, Mild Citrus
Fazenda Dutra is a family run farm owned and operated by Ednilson and Waltin Dutra—brothers and great friends. Ednilson is the commercial manager; Waltim handles day-to-day production and PR. They have been coffee producers all their lives—their father started the farm with one hectare, buying a second and third hectare from the farm's profits until he had grown his land to 500 total hectares. The different lots in Fazenda Dutra represent the original names of the individual farms that Don Dutra absorbed into his property. Don Dutra passed away in an accident on the farm when his sons were young, but Ednilson and Waltim have continued operations of the Fazenda in his honor and in the family name. The brothers have been growing their operations year by year, and have won a number of national competitions, including the 2014 Cup of Excellence.

El Salvador Finca Las Brumas
Almonds, Sparkling Citrus, Cane Sugar, Chocolate
Roaster's Notes:
One of our most underrated favourite. Nothing wild here just sweet, balanced and clean coffee that's so perfect to sip on rainy days. This El Salvador brings a sparkling bright acidity in a filter roast that makes sipping from hot till cool a pleasure. In our espresso roast, the extended maillard phase tones down the acidity and takes sweetness up another notch.
From the family of Ernesto Menendez that produced the very same SL28 variety for Dale Harris to win the WBC2017, this is a very solid, high quality coffee that you should definitely try

Ethiopia Wonago Factory
Jasmine, Apple, Black Tea
Wonago Factory, located in Ethiopia’s famed Yirgacheffe region, is a hub for smallholder farmers whose plots often measure less than a hectare. This area, part of the Gedeo Zone, is celebrated worldwide for producing some of the most distinctive washed coffees, thanks to its high elevations—typically between 1,700 and 2,200 meters—and fertile red-brown soils. Farmers cultivate heirloom varietals, many of which are indigenous to Ethiopia, and deliver ripe cherries to the factory for centralized processing. The washed method here involves careful pulping, fermentation, and washing, followed by drying on raised beds, a meticulous approach that preserves clarity and highlights the terroir’s unique expression.
The resulting coffees from Wonago Factory are renowned for their bright, tea-like qualities and complex aromatics. Expect a cup that is clean and vibrant, often showcasing floral notes like jasmine and honeysuckle, alongside citrus flavors such as lemon and bergamot. The combination of altitude, heirloom genetics, and precise washed processing yields a profile that is both elegant and layered, embodying the classic character of Yirgacheffe. Beyond flavor, Wonago Factory represents the collective effort of Ethiopia’s smallholder farmers, whose traditional practices and deep-rooted heritage continue to define the global reputation of Ethiopian coffee

Sumatra Mandheling
Spices, Dark Chocolates, Big Bodied
The northern most part of the country is ‘Daerah Istimewa Aceh’, one of 27 provinces in Indonesia which has special status. The Mandheling coffee is grown around lake Tawar, near to the town of Takengon. The soil is rich and volcanic and has grown coffee for many years. Many areas work on the single stem pruning system, and cut the main trunk every 3 years or so – this gives a very solid central producing wood. The surrounding district is pretty tropical rainforest, with coffee sometimes growing wild amongst other trees, other times in cleared areas. The coffee is produced on many small holder plots, and usually pulped and sun dried on patios, without being fermented. There are very few plantations. The final quality is determined by the exporters, who are based in Medan, close to the port, where they hull and polish the green beans.
