Morkie Site

About This Coffee

Morkie Site is the 2025 Gold Winner in the Filter - Experimental category of the Global Coffee Awards. This will be one of the top natural lots this year. This is a spice-driven profile: holiday candied orange and rose petals in the foreground, followed by rum cake and chocolate. Save this one in the freezer for the future! This exceptional lot is sourced from smallholder farmers around the Morkie village in Bura, a region formerly under Bensa and now a close neighbor to the famed Rumudamo area. Only uniformly ripe cherries are hand-selected, then carefully sealed in blue plastic tanks for 120 hours of anaerobic fermentation inside a cool room, ensuring a slow, clean, and complex fermentation process. After fermentation, the cherries are gently transferred to African raised beds where they are dried over 27 days. The processing team turns the cherries every hour to ensure even drying, while the beds are covered during peak sunlight to protect delicate flavors. Once the cherries reach a stable moisture content, they are sealed, and allowed to rest 45 days before dry milling.
