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.
Financing costs apply until the coffee is released.
The coffee story
This lot comes from Glanmalure Farm, a specialty-focused farm owned by Vera Stucker and part of her larger estate. Glanmalure is based in the Arusha region in Northern Tanzania on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. The farm has grown coffee for around 100 years in an altitude from 1550 m to 1650 masl. They grow traditional varieties like Kent, Bourbons and SL28 and also Batian, Gesha and Pacamara. All coffees are grown under the shade of trees next to 80 hectares of preserved rainforest, going up to more than 1800 m high.
Talking about pruning
Vera is part of the Ngorongoro Coffee Group, an initiative created by estate owners on Northern Tanzania to promote their coffees. The group, in partnership with the Alliance for Coffee Excellence, hosted in 2020 a Private Collection Auction, including some gems of Vera's farms.
Comments on the 2023 harvest: The 2023 season was again a challing experience. It rained quiet less in November 2022 , which brought the whole farm into flower. This has greatly benefited nature. Since the rains in 2019 ongoing 2023 dry rivers came to life and the freshwater comes bubbling down the mountains even in the now long drought in 2023. However, this strong rains in November 2022 made the trees bloom remarkably once only. After a very first early harvest peak in June 2021, the individual stages of development could be observed well in July and August. The harvest 2023 was finished very fast and early in October 2023. Now in November 2023 the first flower just developed after the first rains. h
The coffee beans are heavy and large in the season 2023! The AA grade share is not below 65%. The high scores caress the soul of us coffee farmers. This year we produced our traditional washed Kent as well as some micro-lots (Honey processed coffees, SL28 variety and a small volume of naturals). For the micro-lots, we only chose the coffee beans showing high Brix values.
Agriculture is always a challenge of a special kind. Working with nature and people for such a beautiful product is difficult but also a deeply fulfilling work. We hope you can cup this passion in the coffees we are sending to you! -
The process
This honey processed coffee was carefully dried under the sun on African dryingbeds. The ripe cherries are pulped with no water, leaving most of the mucilage around the parchment. The beans are later dried for up to 23 days depending on the weather. After drying the coffee is stored with the mucilage prior to hulling in the farm. This process increases the sweetness and fruit notes, making them more dominant in the cup.
