Story

Triangle Accent

This is a single farmer lot from Desta Gola's 10 hectare farm. Immaculate picking from ripe cherry, double washed processing and sun dried on raised beds, these kind of coffees are very hard to get with such pristine provenance and clear tracing. 

Desta has been farming coffee as his primary crop since 2013, and is raising 9(!) children, 6 girls and 3 boys. Really thrilled to have an offering like this at Kuma

Big vibrant notes of pie crust and cherries has us thinking of frosted cherry pop tarts, mixed with a sweet key lime and bergamot aromatics.

Story:

Kuma means bear in Japanese. The founder of the company spent time in Japan before moving back to the states and adopting a big shaggy dog that looked like a bear, so they named it Kuma. Years later came the coffee company and they named it after their dog.

Kuma Coffee started as a guy roasting coffee in his garage in Seattle, Washington. A guy with a passion to find coffee that tasted excellent, roast it very carefully, and get that coffee into people's hands. It was not about how shiny the package was, it was about how delicious the coffee inside it tasted.
