Commonfolk - Mornington Peninsula

"Sometimes you have to step back, relax, and see the whole, not the parts. The summary, not the intro or conclusion. The full album, not just track one and that other good one. The twelve months, not just next Monday. The cinematic universe, not just the post-credit scene. Some people say you have to look at the big picture. Not us. We just say Big Picture. Because Big Picture isn't just about what's in your cup (though it's very good in your cup). It's about everything circling around it: our producers oversees, our wholesale pals, and you yes you, reading this. You're part of the whole. Without our producers, we couldn't roast. Without you, we couldn't brew. Without both, we'd just be sitting in a warehouse surrounded by bags of green beans and questionable life choices. This year, Big Picture means record volume from Zukuka Bora in Uganda, new beginnings with Vava in Kenya, and a blend that pops it all together. Naturals from Uganda, washed lots from Kenya. Bright, sweet, a little humble, and definitely yum."

This release comes from the Mbozi district in the Songwe region, a community that's just formed its own AMCOS (Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) after previously relying on another to sell their coffee. With Keremba's guidance, they've stepped into independence. 
The partnership runs deep. Communal Shamba supplies the community with costly inputs before harvest to help lift both yields and quality. The coffee is fully washed at a shared Central Pulping Unit (CPU), improving consistency and processing standards across the board. Once dried, the parchment returns to Communal Shamba for milling and meticulous hand sorting to produce export-grade lots."
