He owns a main farm in Bombe and a smaller, roughly 5-hectare farm in Kokose, equipped with its own dedicated drying station. Beyond his own plots, he sources coffee from neighbouring smallholders with similar growing conditions, forming a \"central farm – satellite producers\" model. Annual output reaches approximately 1.5 containers of green coffee, grown at an average elevation of around 2,200 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot is processed as a White Honey — a lighter honey method that removes most of the mucilage before drying, preserving clarity while adding a touch of body and sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe White Honey processing is the defining step here — it's what builds the eucalyptus and green tea clarity behind this cup, while the light mucilage retention adds the brown sugar sweetness underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVibrantly clean and floral — eucalyptus leads, with brown sugar sweetness through the middle and a green tea structure on the finish.
