Berry Blues - Ethiopia

This year's anaerobic natural from Esayas Beriso is a shade-dried heirloom from Guji, Ethiopia and it's very silky & buttery. We taste purple / dark berries, myrtle liquor and cashew nut from its texture. An amazing filter & espresso.

Esayas Beriso is the farmer behind the product Boku. His farm is located in the Hambela Wamena district, in the Oromia Region, Ethiopia and sits at an impressive 2,350 meters above sea level. Esayas primarily cultivates the local 74158 variety, known for its exceptional cup quality.

The Anaerobic Natural process introduces a controlled fermentation stage. After meticulous cherry selection, the cherries are fermented for 72 hours (or 120h) in dry, shaded barrels, with Esayas closely monitoring the process. Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are moved to shaded drying beds, where they are treated similarly to the Natural process before being milled and packed for sale.
