This is a limited offering of only 65 bags of pure Mokka varietal coffee from award winning Café Granja, Colombia. We will roast on Monday, 10th January 2022.

This coffee comes to us from our partners in Colombia, Café Granja La Esperanza. Coming in after lots such as Sudan Rume, and our infamous Napoleon Geisha, we have for the first time, the rare varietal of Mokka.

The coffee is complex with notes of cherry, plum, watermelon and jasmine. A crisp acidity is supported by a textured body. The cup is balanced with a long finish, with additional notes of chocolate, cacao and pecan pie.

Café Granja La Esperanza are dedicated to quality and exploring avenues to achieve better quality in agriculture and processing, with a focus on the genetics of arabica coffee.

This is on display at the Hawaii farm where Mokka is exclusively grown. Many years of research and development have culminated in this coffee, which undergoes a multiple stage fermentation process. After 48 hours of natural open air fermentation in silo's, the coffee is then sundried for approximately 15 days.

Going back to the time when coffee had just been discovered, almost all the coffees that were drunk in Europe came from Yemen, and all the shipments passed through the port of Mokha. From there, European traders, carried the coffee on wooden boats and began transporting it to the European market.

The Dutch sold this new drink under the name Café Moka, due to the port from which it was originally shipped. This Mokka is a dwarf mutant of Bourbon, a bushy tree that grows only 4-6 feet tall. This particular Mokka is a mutant hybridised with Typica, a tall variety genetically distinct from Bourbon with small cherries and leaves, but with a tall stem like Typica.
