Description

South Africa, Racemosa - Elephant Coast Coffee. A very exciting addition to the Sea Island catalogue and an entirely new species of coffee: Racemosa. Until now, every coffee we’ve sourced has been part of the Arabica family, and 99% of coffee comes from either the Robusta, or Arabica species, but these tiny and unusual Racemosa beans are a completely different species of their own. This Racemosa coffee is grown on the Elephant Coast estate in South Africa, an unusual location for quality coffee cultivation as it is typically considered too low altitude, too hot, and too dry for Arabica coffee.
