KINDENG PEABERRY

Dried apricot, starfruit, baker's chocolate

This lot comes from the Kindeng Estate, a 350-hectare coffee farm that was started back in the 1960s. The slanting slopes were actually planted with coffee by missionaries nearly 110 years ago. But an Australian businessman named Walter Carpenter took over the land in the 60s. His work and dedication led to its success. In the early 2000s, the Estate had a shift in ownership and is now managed by Carpenter Estates.
