Bourbon N39 is a Tanzanian Bourbon, first developed in the 1930s for quality and yield.
This lot underwent an extended, high-temperature fermentation. Cherries were held for six days in a controlled, exothermic environment, where elevated temperatures drove the development of complex, fruit-forward esters while reinforcing the variety’s natural sweetness and structure. Following fermentation, the cherries were pulped, leaving a measured amount of mucilage intact.
The result is a velvety, smooth cup with stone fruit sweetness and a slight nuttiness.

Edelweiss is a third-generation family estate, now run by siblings Neel and Kavita Vohora. Perched at 1,600–1,850 metres on the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area – a UNESCO World Heritage site - the farm borders the entirely indigenous Ngorongoro forest.
The Vohoras actively protect the surrounding ecosystem, preserving bushland corridors and maintaining native tree cover so the farm can sit in harmony with the wildlife and natural ecology around it. Extreme variations in topography, naturally rain-fed agriculture, and a patchwork of microclimates give Edelweiss coffees their remarkably complex flavour profiles – a result of Tanzania’s high-altitude volcanic terroir.
