Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Notes: Blackberry, floral, lime, & syrupy About: Oreti Estate is named after the beach in New Zealand where Boyce’s grandmother is originally from. The Harries family provide all their workers with clean water and electricity and are also very engaged in their local community. Of particular note, they cofounded the Wabeni Technical Institute that teaches local children practical skills to help them make a living. The SL14 variety is considered to have an exceptional cup quality but due to its susceptibility to disease is very rare to find. We are very excited to be able to try it from Oreti Estate!
