NEEL & KAVITA VOHORA
Gaia Estate
Neel and Kavita Vohora, a powerhouse sibling duo growing coffee along the southern slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest unbroken caldera, and a living, breathing miracle carved into the Tanzanian highlands. They’ve been farming here for decades, on about 1000 acres of heaven near Karatu in the Rift Valley, a place that feels like the Earth whispering its oldest stories.
SL-28 Greatness
This is a fermented natural SL-28 variety coffee from Karatu, Tanzania, produced by siblings Neel and Kavita Vohora on their Gaia Farm. The flavor profile is a remarkable and delicious combination of Kenya-like acidity, process-driven fruitiness, and Tanzanian terroir. We taste blackberry, plum, orange, fig, lemongrass, and caramel. Baristas note how the coffee is a “joy to work with.”
