ETHIOPIA COLLECTION
LIMITED RELEASE
Ethiopia Benti Nenka
Guji Anaerobic Natural
This seasonal lot is produced in the village of Benti Nenka in West Guji, a region known for its ideal coffee growing conditions. Located at high altitude with rich volcanic soil and consistent rainfall, the village is surrounded by native shade trees and local wildlife contributing to the area’s biodiversity. Around 400 smallholder farmers deliver ripe cherries to a dry mill by the Awata River. Coffee cherries are sorted and rinsed before being sealed for 7-10 days of anaerobic fermentation. The process is carefully monitored daily to encourage deep and clean flavour development. Cherries are then moved to raised African beds to dry for 20-30 days until they reach 11% moisture level. In the cup this coffee is soft and gentle yet complex, with juicy acidity and floral aromatics. Expect notes of watermelon, raspberry and rosemary with a delicate cardamom finish.
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
Chelbesa Washed
This Ethiopia Yirgacheffe comes from Chelbesa in the heart of the Gedeo zone, within the renowned Gedeb district. This high-altitude region provides perfect conditions for growing Kurume and Dega varietals. Chelbesa is the largest coffee-producing area in Gedeb, made up of 1,240 hectares and over 250 smallholder farmers. Cherries are delivered daily to a local washing station, where no farmer is more than 40 minutes away, ensuring optimal freshness. After mechanical de-pulping, the coffee is fermented for 24-48 hours, before being washed clean and dried on raised African beds. This coffee has a delicate structure with bright orange acidity, smooth toffee sweetness, and vibrant blackcurrant and bergamot notes.
Ethiopia Sidamo
Daye Bensa Natural G1
Ethiopia Sidama Daye Bensa Natural G1 is a vibrant espresso roast from the highlands of Sidama. The cherries are delivered by out-growers with farms at elevations between 2,000 and 2,400 MASL. Carefully dried in the shade on raised beds, this traditional method enhances clarity and depth in the cup. Founded by two brothers, Daye Bensa supports not only their own farm but also surrounding smallholders through processing and export. This coffee delivers a juicy and complex cup that reflects its true Grade 1 quality, with layered notes of tropical and citric fruits and delicate florals.
