It combines SL-28 and SL-34 varieties—renowned for their exceptional cup quality—with Ruiru 11, a compact, disease-resistant hybrid.

If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
Can my coffee be ground?
