We're proud to share that When In UAE has featured Manural and our founder, Catalina Castillo, in a new article: "Manural Specialty Coffee Brings Tarrazú To Dubai."
Writer Cassandra Sawali tells the story of how Catalina, a fourth-generation coffee grower from Tarrazú, Costa Rica, brought her family's coffee and that of neighbouring smallholder farms to the UAE. It covers how we roast in small batches here in Dubai, why we pay farmers for quality rather than volume, and the regenerative, shade-grown farms we work with, including women-led producers like San Luis Farm.
It also includes a proud family moment: Franklin's first hand-processed batch scored 86.50 on the SCA scale.
Thank you, Cassandra and the When In UAE team, for helping us share the story behind every cup. 🤎
