Origin Story

Grown at 1800–2200m, it features Kurume and Dega varietals. Ripe cherries are delivered to local washing stations, sorted, de-pulped, and fermented for 48–72 hours depending on weather. After fermentation, beans are washed and dried on raised African beds for 10–15 days, with constant turning to ensure even drying. This meticulous process yields a coffee known for its sweetness, complexity, and limited availability, making Lalesa a highly prized origin in the specialty coffee world.

Process & care

Our sourcing philosophy

Every coffee has a story. Every cup connects people. Sourcing coffee is not just about logistics and contracts. It’s about people, patience, and purpose. Every bag of green coffee represents someone’s work, someone’s story, and a shared pursuit of excellence.

Our relationships are built at Origin. We create partnerships built on respect, shared goals, and good coffee. We believe the best coffees come from long-term partnerships. Many of our producers have worked with us for years, refining the characteristics of the coffee we seek.These relationships are built on mutual respect and open communication. Travelling to visit our producing partners is key to nurturing relationships that matter.

From origin to roastery, every step is about consistency. Every shipment we receive is cupped and compared against its pre-ship sample to confirm that the coffee matches the quality and profile we expect.
