Our importer Osito has partnered with the Kata Muduga Union for the past five years. The team has a longstanding rapport with the union's managing director, Asnake Nigat, and have a healthy and trusting relationship. A reputation has been built with KM coffees on heavy vetting of lots based primarily on the physical analysis and at times have turned down very high-scoring coffees in order to source only the coffees that they believe will hold up for the long term - looking for lots that have a water activity of .55 or less and moisture between 9.0% and 10.5%. In addition, lots must be perfectly clean under a UV light. We firmly believe in the approach that being a comprehensive buyer makes for the best partner and is in the best interest of each link in the supply chain.
