                          About The Producer

                          Monkaaba is a smallholder coffee grower empowerment initiative based in San Agustin and led by Esnaider Ortega Gomez and select other growers who have worked for many years to sell their coffee as a specialty. Many of them are associated loosely or directly with the Los Naranjos group and have, in recent years, begun to feel that they would like to develop more autonomy over the coffee production as well as involvement in its marketing and sales. Monkaaba’s goal then is to assist other growers in the area to not only find a better market for their coffee, one that pays a solid price, but also to invest in the knowledge and skill of producers in a way that ensures their future success.

                          Processing

                          Each producer follows their own process. Coffees were blended at delivery to the Monkaaba bodega to make an exportable lot. This SL28 blend features two of the producers that were in the first SL28 blend exported by Monkaaba, Esnaider Ortega and Damian Bolaños, and in a small quantity, a new female member of the project, Maria Alejandra Astudillo. All four of these growers are producers who have been committed to succeeding in the specialty market for years, and a part of that strategy has been to add new and unique varieties to their repertoire as a means of differentiation within the quality market. Of course, as is often the case with this group, the benefit of the whole is always prioritized. It was Esnaider and Augusto Ortega who first had SL28 seeds, and they proceeded to distribute them to various other growers in the Monkaaba network with the hope of seeing all of these producers benefit from this prized variety. Esnaider and others began planting SL28 in late 2020, and as is common knowledge of varietals or exotic varieties, it’s taken four years for these trees to produce anything of consequence. Even still, the first fruits of these types of crops were very limited, and as such, we made the collective decision to blend these coffees to see them exported and build a client base for these coffees going forward.

                          Variety

                          SL28 is among the most well-known and well-regarded varieties of Africa. It has consequently spread from Kenya, where it was originally selected in the 1930s, to other parts of Africa (it is important in Arabica-growing regions of Uganda, in particular) and now to Latin America. The variety is suited for medium to high altitudes and shows resistance to drought, but is susceptible to the major diseases of coffee. SL28 is notable for its rusticity—a quality meaning that it can be left untended for years or even decades at a time, and then return to successful production. There are SL28 trees in many parts of Kenya that are 60-80 years old and still productive.

                            Good cart.
                            Size: 5 Tiers (8.7"D x 39.2"H), Color: Rustic Brown + Classic Black
                            Very good cart. Could use better wheels, but all in all nice looking cart. Wish it came with a-hooks so you could hang pot holders or something of the like on the end b horizontal bars, but it does NOT.

                            Material Type: Three Tiers Cart
                            The cart looks great and fits our needs perfectly. It is very sturdy and well made. However, it took a lot longer to put together than I expected because there many parts and they have to fit together perfectly. Worth it though!

                            Not for someone that needs step by step instructions and pre-drilled holes
                            Nice cart that looks good once assembled. But be warned: there are NO predrilled holes for any of the screws. You will need to build each section of the frame that attaches to each wood panel FIRST, sit it on the wood and use a electric drill or driver to put the screws into the wood. Same goes for the wheel attachments - no holes drilled for these either. So if you are someone that can't even build a piece of IKEA furniture - this is NOT for you as this will require more skill and power tools.

                            Great Cart, Difficult Assembly
                            Material Type: Three Tiers Cart
                            This cart is beautiful and met our expectations. We read many reviews good and bad, so we knew what we were buying. The cart was packaged and delivered perfectly. It is very heavy so help may be needed. It took 4 hours to put together, there were no predrilled holes and some of the metal poles need to be adjusted slightly to fit correctly. The instructions were straightforward, drilling holes prior is very helpful. The wood was a darker brown and I actually liked the imperfections of the knots giving it character. Overall, I would buy this cart again. It is very pretty and will look amazing in our camp.
