Shipping
During the transport from the origin to the warehouse and when stored at the warehouse, your coffee is fully insured by Algrano. In case anything happens, we will take care of the issue.
For the road transport to your roastery, you can choose 2 delivery options:
Doorstep delivery (DDP): we will take care of the road transport to your doorstep. We will compare prices and organise the pick-up details. Transport insurance and transport claims are fully covered by Algrano. You have nothing to worry about!
Warehouse pick-up (FCA): you will have to organise the transport yourself, and you would need to instruct your carrier accordingly. You will need to organise the insurance, and in case of transport damage, you will need to raise the claim to your carrier.
For buyers in the EU, Switzerland and the UK the coffee will be provided customs cleared. In case of an intra-community delivery, you will need to report the purchase according to your local VAT regulations.
For buyers in Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein, we can provide transport to your roastery, but we are not able to import. In this case you would need to register the import.
For buyers in the USA, we will provide customs clearance.

Algrano
Aroma of sugar cane and nuts. Notes of chocolate, toffee, dark fruits with a sweet lasting mild citric acidity, a silky-creamy lingering body, well structure for blend
Financing costs apply until the coffee is released.
The coffee story
Owned by a young energetic Mutai Kinyua, this farm is located in Nkubu town - this is located on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya within Meru county. It falls in one of the most fertile and best-watered parts of Africa with tea, coffee and dairy farming as the main economic activities.
Kinyua is an enthusiastic and outgoing young producer who has slowly worked to revive the family coffee farm and taken every opportunity to learn new technologies and processing methods to keep elevating his coffee quality. A complex coffee, bursting with blueberry notes, floral aromas to the nose and milk chocolate. Delicate body and a balanced structure overall.
This exciting coffee is a long time collaboration in the making between our founder Vava Angwenyi and Mutai Kinyua.
Altitude: 1500 - 2100 m above sea level Production area: 10 acres Number of trees: 10,000 Growing Practices: Shade trees, terraces. 80% organic, 20% conventional

Coffee Milk Blood, limited edition
Coffee Milk Blood is a project and book inspired by my own experience as an African woman in the industry and the theme of the book touches on appropriate storytelling/depiction of producers - how we want to be seen beyond the coffee and as women, the African woman, the culture of the place as well as underpinnings of Colonialism that are the structures we still operate within in our industry. The book of which we are putting out the main version and limited edition will be a tool the industry needs especially challenging the visual context we often see of coffee origins/producing countries and the faces behind the coffee.
