This week on bar
Bookkisa is a women-led cooperative of 540 smallholders in the highlands above Yirgacheffe. The cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness, depulped within hours, and fermented for 36 to 48 hours before sun-drying on raised beds. The cup is bright, floral, and unmistakable.
The roastery
We roast on a Loring S15 Falcon. Every batch is cupped before it leaves the roastery, and if a roast is not what we wanted, the bag does not get sold. That standard sets the rest of what we do.
We work with importers who publish farm-gate prices. Every coffee on our menu lists the producer, the cooperative or farm, the elevation, the harvest year, and the price we paid for the green coffee. If you want the invoice, we will email it to you.
