Summary of producer

Coffea Circulor Kenya Estate (Ivica & Macho)

Coffea Circulor Kenya Estates is at the hearth, birth and culmination of transparency in trade, quality and pricing in contemporary coffee production. Coffea Circulor acquired land in Meru initially spanning over 5,000m2 to research and produce of small-scale lots with attention to innovation and quality. With time, land area expanded and so did the possibilities. The result is an accumulated strive for improving farm practices, growing isolated and individual (“single-varieties”) indigenous and non-indigenous genetical varieties, research traditional and new fermentation protocols with dedicated drying techniques whilst addressing important issues that Coffea Circulor has identified in Kenyan coffee production while being operational since 2005.

In 2005, Coffea Circulor founder Ivica Cvetanovski observed the combination of coffee varieties at Kenyan coffee processing stations. This unification of coffee varieties that make up “mixed lots” at washing stations in Kenya removes the notion of “single estate” and “single variety”. Varieties such as SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, K7, etc. were “blended” without any particular notion taken to ratio. This is mainly due to small scale farmers / smallholder pick their cherries as a cash crop, delivery to the closest drop off point. Coffee cherries are often personally carried to a local coffee processing station. At the station, cherries are weighted and the producer receive a voucher based on the weight. The voucher can later be redeemed for cash, Mpasa (electronic cash) or other monetary funds. This method of a post-cherry delivery payment is well established in Kenya and also incentivizes the small scale producer to unfortunately not always pay attention the cherries to carry a certain quality. Coffee cherries rather convey a more important heft because it simply is the weight that pays at the nearest processing station. Additionally, no particular notion is put on which varieties are picked and delivered: “the end product is coffee regardless”.
