Luna is a brighter take, a reflection on our philosophy, and a step on our journey in coffee, and is suited for espresso, smaller espresso and milk drinks, or batch brew.
This is a new endeavour, a little further from home. Here we have more fresh fruit, more acidity, but still a deep sweetness and integrated structure. Luna is combined to promote the character of washed Ethiopia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, or often a single larger lot.
Tunsisa
Daniel Tunsisa grows coffee in fertile land on the edge of the Harenna forest national park, at over 2200 masl in the Sidama region. Daniel’s natural lot was an excellent find during this year’s rounds of cupping with CoQua in Addis Ababa, with a rich and ripe character of brown sugar, apricot, and dark chocolate.
He inherited his 6 hectare plot from his father, a huge amount of land in a landscape dominated by smallholder farmers. Daniel runs his business more like small producers we work with in the Americas, planting locally distributed 74110 and 74112 varietals, and employing a workforce of around 45 people during peak harvest.

Brazil has faced increasing instability in recent years, driven by climate extremes and vulnerabilities in intensive agricultural systems, making it harder to secure consistent quality at acceptable prices.
As a result, we reassessed our approach to espresso sourcing, as fewer Brazilian lots met our standards for balanced, characterful milk drinks.
With Profiles, our goal is to deliver this experience year-round, widening our sourcing across the coffee belt - often blending carefully selected lots - to maintain both quality and a consistent profile.
Kiamugumo
Crisp red berries are balanced by a deep sweetness in this fresh and tea-like lot from northeastern Kirinyaga.
The small region in Kirinyaga that the Kiamugumo station serves, surrounding the village of Ngariama, is mainly a tea-growing area. The region is known for very high quality of both tea and coffee; we have visited several times, most recently in February of this year. It is clear to witness the density of both coffee and tea plantation in the lush green landscape, enabled by the rich volcanic soils.
