From Soil to Sip: The Life of a Chagga Coffee Bean
Chagga coffee is more than just a morning drink, it’s a ritual, a connection, a way of life. In this post, I walk you through the life of a coffee bean in Materuni: how it’s planted, cared for, processed, and eventually brewed with love.
🌱 Grown by Hand, with Pride
We don’t use big machines. Every tree in the farm is touched by human hands — watered, watched, and picked only when ready. Coffee here is not a crop. It’s part of our family rhythm.
🔥 The Fire That Roasts Our Stories
We roast the beans in open pans over firewood. There’s always someone telling a joke, singing, or sharing wisdom while we work. This is what guests feel — the fire, the smell, the heartbeat of tradition.
☕ The Sip That Connects Us
When you take that first sip after grinding and brewing, it tastes different — because you were part of it. That’s what makes Chagga coffee unforgettable.
