The Coffee
Mondul Estate was established in 1931 and acquired by Burka estates in 2007. The estate is a 211 hectare farm on Mondul Mountain, around 25km from Burka town in the Arusha region of Northern Tanzania. This area is the heart of the Maasai land in Tanzania. The Estates (Burka-Selian-Mondul) have about 200 permanent staff, and 200 daily casual staff although in the peak of the harvest season, there can be up to 5,000 staff involved in picking and processing. All permanent staff are provided with housing on the Estates (in four different camps), and the minimum salary is set at 20% above the government minimum requirement. Staff have social security and Labour Union membership included in their contracts, and an Estate credit union also offer loans and advice for education, health and house construction.

Brew tips from Papercup coffee
This coffee was designed to work all across the UK, so for soft water (approx 55-75ppm) brew a little longer or grind a little finer than your usual. For really hard water (150ppm+) go coarser, hotter and faster. We think it tastes best on paper filter but the flavours will shine through however you want to brew it. We’re only a wee Insta DM away if you’re looking for tips! ☕️
