FARM: Batu Kobo
The natural process used for this coffee showcases the farmers’ skill and attention to detail. Ripe cherries are handpicked and meticulously sorted to remove any defects. They are then dried in their whole fruit on raised beds for 15–20 days. This slow and careful drying process allows the beans to absorb the natural sugars from the cherries, resulting in the coffee’s signature syrupy sweetness and vibrant fruit-forward character.
This coffee is a reflection of its unique terroir, which combines high elevations, fertile soils, and a temperate climate to produce beans with extraordinary quality. Batu Kobo is also notable for its strong commitment to traditional coffee-growing methods, ensuring sustainability and excellence in every harvest.
Batu Kodo Gr1 arrived to our roastery via EL CAFÉ, a company established in 2000 by Vasileios G. Anastasopoulos that is solely concerned in the coffee producing countries with discovering new coffee varieties on special farms.
Since then they supplie most of the largest coffee producing companies in Greece, by remaining as a dedicated green coffee import and trading company.

The natural process for Batu Kobo Gr1 begins with handpicking only the ripest cherries. These cherries are carefully sorted to ensure only the best fruit moves forward in the process. Once sorted, the cherries are spread out on raised drying beds, where they dry under the sun for 15–20 days. During this time, the cherries are turned regularly to ensure even drying and prevent over-fermentation or mold development.
This method allows the beans to absorb the sugars from the fruit, enhancing the coffee’s natural sweetness and fruity characteristics. The result is a cup that is rich, complex, and bursting with vibrant berry and citrus notes—a true testament to the skill and dedication of the Batu Kobo coffee producers.
