ROASTER’S CHOICE
SEPTEMBER 2026

NEEL VOHORA BOURBON

TANZANIA

Origin: Tanzania
Region: Karatu District, Arusha Region
Varietal: Bourbon N39
Process: Honey

This month, our Roaster’s Choice returns to Edelweiss Estates in Tanzania for a sweet and smooth Bourbon N39 produced by Neel Vohora.

Edelweiss is a third-generation farm managed by Neel and his sister, set on the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and surrounded by indigenous forest and wildlife. Its varied elevations and microclimates help give each lot its own unique character.

First selected from a Bourbon grown around Kilimanjaro in the late 1920s, Bourbon N39 is known for its balanced flavour.

After harvest, the coffee ferments for six days in warm conditions, developing fruitiness and complexity before drying with some pulp intact.

Expect juicy pear, rich pecan pie and a creamy milk chocolate finish.

We recommend pairing with:

Pecan Pie
