Gaia Estate is a 620-hectare (1,532 Acre) family-owned estate located in the Karatu district of Tanzania. Gaia is one of two farms managed by Neel and Kavita Vohora, siblings, multi-generation coffee growers, and agricultural entrepreneurs in this extremely unique part of East Africa.

This lot of coffee is a unique natural process that uses an additional custom step devised by the Vohoras, in which fresh-picked cherry is piled deeply into a wooden box, covered with plastic, and then rotated several times a day as it ferments in the form of whole fruit. This stage lasts for 6 days; by the end of it, the inner seed is starting to break out of the softened fruit and is sitting in the sticky sugars (the “wine”) that have been drawn out with it. After this step is complete, the coffee is fully depulped and dried in the shade for 2 days, and then dried for another 10 days in alternating shade and direct sun.

The Coffee is then delicately roasted by us at WeBe here in Phoenix and delivered to your door! We only purchased a very small quantity of this coffee so get it while you can!
