Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Grown on family farms on volcanic Mount Oku, Mocha Joe's own direct trade project has produced the first ever specialty coffee from the northwest region of Cameroon, Africa. Our Dark Roast Cameroon is a strong dark roast with molasses, syrupy notes mingling with walnut and vanilla. Through our efforts in Cameroon, we have been able to return thousands of dollars in organic and specialty quality premiums to the farmers and sorters, as well as provide access to capital and infrastructure improvements in the region.
