Kevenka Coffees is a specialty coffee processor founded by two entrepreneur brothers, Kevin and Kenny Soewondo, from Surubaya in East Java. They initially entered the coffee industry by opening a cafe in their city, but over time began processing coffee sourced from local farms. Mount Ijen is located in East Java, approximately 3.5 hours’ drive from Bali, and is an active volcano in the province. Kevenka Coffees works with five areas on Mount Ijen, sourcing cherries from up to 500 different farms. All coffee is then delivered to their processing center in Botolinggo Village.

After harvesting, coffee cherries are washed, density-sorted, and color-sorted to remove defects. Anaerobic fermentation takes place in a tank for two days, with temperature and pH levels monitored. Then the cherries are dried for 11-13 days to reach the required moisture level. The dried cherries are hulled and sorted, and after final quality control, the coffee is ready for export.

LIGHT & JUICY

Origin: Peru
Region: Huabal
Producer: Regional farmers
Altitude: 1700-1900 meters above sea level
Variety: Caturra, Catuai, Catimor
Process: Washed
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 84.00 points

Huabal is a district within the Jaen province of Cajamarca and has significant potential to produce high-quality coffee. Spanning multiple mountain ranges, Huabal features considerable variation in climate and soil composition. Some areas experience wet, humid conditions with red, African-like soils, while others are drier and hotter. This diversity contributes to complex and distinctive cup profiles.

This lot is a blend from multiple producers in the district of Huabal, where the average farm size is approximately 1.5 hectares. Producers in this area harvest and process their coffee independently, typically drying it on lined patios. After harvesting, the coffee rests for 24 hours before being depulped and fermented for 36 hours. It is then dried for 10 to 15 days until it reaches the ideal humidity level.

LIGHT & JUICY

Origin: El Salvador
Region: Usulután
Producer: Diego Baraona
Altitude: 1400 meters above sea level
Variety: Elite Bourbon
Process: Washed
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 85.00 points

Los Pirineos farm is operated by fifth-generation coffee producer Diego Baraona. Diego works to carry on a tradition and legacy built on more than 130 years of his family’s experience, history, and knowledge in coffee cultivation.
The farm sits at 1,400 meters above sea level on the slopes of a standalone volcano. This unique positioning provides a microclimate unlike any other, with sun-filled days and cool breezes that create an environment ideal for coffee production, processing, and drying.

This coffee is named “Elite,” a tribute to the 90-year-old Bourbon trees on Diego’s farm—a name given by his father to honor their heritage. This particular Bourbon lot underwent a washed processing method. After being freshly harvested, the cherries were pulped using water to remove the fruit from the parchment layer. The washed beans were then spread over shaded, raised beds, where they dried for 45 days until reaching their optimal humidity level.

SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Colombia
Region: Narino
Producer: Jermy Pedraza
Altitude: 2000 meters above sea level
Variety: Caturra, Castillo, Colombia
Process: Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 87.75 points

Jermy is a third generation coffee farmer, as well as an engineer and agronomist. Fifteen years ago, he purchased a farm called La Joya in Chachagui. Fortunately, the farm has excellent climatic conditions, that enhance the attributes valued in the cup. La Joya experiences warm days and cool nights, which slow down the plant’s metabolism. This unique temperature variation helps develop a wide range of compounds that contribute to the complexity and richness of the coffee’s flavor profile.

Processing at farm La Joya begins with selectively harvesting only ripe coffee cherries, which are then sorted via flotation. After floating, the cherries are manually sorted before undergoing the main processing. This blend of Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia coffee varieties undergoes Natural processing. Sorted cherries are placed into sealed bags with a starter culture from Jermy's other processes and fermented anaerobically for five days. The fermented cherries are then dried on raised beds for 10 days, followed by an additional two days in a mechanical dryer. Natural processing enhances the complexity of the coffee’s flavor profile and highlighting fruity and wine-like notes.

Origin: Brazil

Variety: Catigua, Catucai
Process: Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 83.00 points

This coffee comes from a very small, 1.1 hectare, family-owned farm located in the Fagundes Community in Santo Antonio do Amparo. The producers are members of the Fagundes Community Association, which was founded to strengthen local growers and support coffee production in the area.

This is our third time buying from Arlindo’s family, and this year we exclusively purchased their entire harvest - 11 bags. From the moment we first shook hands, we made a promise to each other: as long as the Arlindos continue to grow coffee, KALVE will continue to buy from them in support of the outstanding quality they produce.

The cherries were handpicked, carefully sorted and spread evenly for drying, skipping the wet mill. Because there is no contact with water, the coffee avoids the development of unwanted fermented flavors. Instead, it produces a clean profile with rich chocolate and nut notes, complemented by mild acidity. Once the beans reach the final stage of drying, the dried cherry is removed, and the beans are cleaned and sent to our partner cooperative Sancoffee for quality assurance and final processing before export.

SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Brazil
Region: Campo das Vertentes
Producer: Henrique Dias Cambraia
Altitude: 1100 meters above sea level
Variety: Yellow bourbon
Process: Anaerobic Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 85.00 points

Synonymous of tradition, Fazenda Samambaia has been the heritage of the Cambraia family for over a hundred years, dating back to the early stages of coffee growing at Campo das Vertentes, in Minas Gerais State. As a fourth-generation coffee grower, Henrique has overcome many challenges. When travelling abroad, he realized that Brazilian coffees were not on the shelves of international coffee shops and this fact drew his attention to the emerging specialty coffee market. Very soon, Henrique started focusing on high quality coffees and joined forces with other producers in Campo das Vertentes, to found Sancoffee - a cooperative dedicated to directly exporting their specialty coffees.

Nowadays, in addition to remarkable coffees, Fazenda Samambaia places great importance in social and environmental responsibility, investing in training for the team, innovating in farming and post-harvest practices to assure the sustainability of the coffee business, inspiring future generations.

This lot undergoes anaerobic fermentation. The process takes place in plastic barrels sealed airtight with a valve to control gas exchange, and it may begin in an aerobic environment until microorganisms consume the available oxygen. Over approximately five days, the temperature of the coffee mass and pH levels are monitored as key indicators of the fermentation rate. Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are transferred to raised beds to undergo the drying process until the coffee reaches the ideal moisture level.
