About the Farm

Founded in 2019, Grassfield Co-operative is a collective of coffee producers based in Western Cameroon, with members throughout the areas of Foumbot, Bamenda, Mbouda, and Bafoussam. The cooperative focuses on producing high-quality Arabica coffee while bringing together smallholder farmers from across the region.

This particular lot comes from the Kouoptamo area, where coffee is grown at approximately 1,150 meters above sea level. The lot is composed entirely of the Java variety, offering a distinctive expression of coffee from a growing origin that remains relatively uncommon within the specialty coffee market.

About the Bean

This fully washed Java undergoes approximately 24–36 hours of fermentation before being thoroughly washed. The coffee is then sun-dried on raised African beds for approximately 7–8 days, or until it reaches a target moisture content of around 12%. This controlled processing helps create a clean, balanced cup while preserving the coffee’s sweetness and body.

The result is a smooth and savory coffee with moderate body and low acidity. Milk chocolate leads the profile, accompanied by a soft marshmallow-like sweetness and roasted peanut character, with subtle undertones of granola. Balanced and approachable, this Java offers a rich, comforting profile while showcasing a unique expression of Western Cameroon.
