Processed at Baho's Humure washing station, this is a new separation lot of the 13 growers that live nearest to Remera Hill. Emmanuel, the owner of Baho, talks about a "low and slow" approach to coffee drying, inspired by slow-cooking food to concentrate and intensify flavors. With the eventual goal of complete transparency from smallholder farm to export, they are building commitments with producers that support an investment in coffee quality and economic viability. In a region where producers are often completely anonymized, Remera Hill brings a name and a place to a small but growing group of people. Real and lasting relationships are built on trust, and they take time to mature, but we're confident that "low and slow" is just as good an approach to organizing people as it is to drying coffee.
