Sweet Maria's, located in Oakland on the west coast of the United States, is a well-known website that specializes in home-made baking equipment for small quantities of raw beans or coffee. The story begins with the couple Thompson Owen and Maria in 1997, when Tom, who graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago, fell in love with Maria. Maria works as an art curator at the Wax Art Center (Wexner Center for the Arts). Tom couldn't accept the local coffee flavor in Ohio, so he decided to bake it himself. Maria supported him to help him open an online store and help Tom sell the extra raw beans online. They provide complete information to fellow users, including details of beans, cup measurements, baking suggestions, and so on, and Sweet Maria's begins.

The cooperative society here helps their members market coffee, deal with cash problems, and provide agricultural technology. The cooperative has a total of 57 sites in the Kayanza region of Rwanda. The selection of raw beans here is mostly hand-selected by intensive manual work, and farmers will first manually screen the ripe cherries at the delivery meeting. Coffee beans with parchment will continue to be selected on the dryer, and the raw beans will be screened again after the sheepskin is removed. Most of the coffee here is washed and sun-processed. Bourbon is the main variety in the area, especially when planted at high altitude.

Taste analysis: delightful sweet cherry aromas, grapes, lime-like bright acidity and sweetness, and a sweet finish like Sugar cane juice
