This particular Ethiopian coffee hails from the Oromiya Guji region and is cultivated on a 200-hectare farm situated at elevations ranging from 2000m to 2100m, resulting in a distinct taste of red wine, candied orange peel, clove, pepper and floral lavender.
The implementation of anaerobic processing in 2020 has brought about a novel approach in the area. This method involves the careful selection of fully ripe cherries, which are then fermented in a sealed tank to intensify their flavours. Following a 4-5 day fermentation period, the cherries undergo a noticeable transformation, with the coffee beans subsequently dried for 15-18 days on African drying beds under the sun.
