Long Miles Coffee Project

The most famous producer and project of this country at the same time is undoubtedly the Long Miles Coffee Estate. The Carlsson family founded the Heza processing station in 2014. In addition to the classic dry method, experimental processing with the “honey” method was introduced here for the first time in the area. Heza even has its own plant nursery for more than 15,000 coffee trees – trying to transform a war-ravaged country. The proximity of the rainforest, high altitude and the presence of 2 mineral springs ensure exceptional varieties of selected coffee.

By purchasing coffee from Long Miles, we support the local community and fair trade. This is our second variety.

Taste profile is kind of a sharp, bright taste, in addition you can recognize raspberry, honey and black tea.

Coffee trees grow at altitude from 1960 mamsl, which is probably really high for any plants to grow. Despite this fact, the coffee from here are really unique. The number two fact of uniqueness is transport from war country to the whole wide world. We are really grateful for projects like Long Miles – they do a really good job.
