Finagro 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.
Simba - Coffee King
This is a washed “Simba” variety coffee from Karatu, Tanzania, produced by siblings Neel and Kavita Vohora on their Gaia Farm. The flavor profile alludes to the Ethiopian origin of the cultivar, with a plethora of stone fruit sweetness and hints of sweet florality and pleasant herbaceousness. It’s dessert-like with “main character energy.” We taste plum, black tea, nectarines, and Milky Way and chocolate.
