This coffee is a blend of peaberries from smallholder farmers from various villages and washing stations in Tanzania's southern highlands. Most farmers in this region grow a few different cultivars, including N 39 and KP 423, two Tanzania-specific varieties. The way this lot was created was by sorting out the peaberries from 4–5 different washing stations to create a full lot of peaberries as opposed to the usual mixed lots.
