Introducing our next direct trade coffee – Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Koke Anaerobic Natural Heirloom, which comes from the well-known Yirgacheffe growing region, famous for its floral and fruity notes. This lot is processed using an experimental method with 72 hour anaeobic fermentation, which gives the coffee a great fruity and “funky” flavour profile.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Koke Station, named after the kebele of the same name, works with more than 1,200 small farmers who are motivated by the higher payouts for harvesting only perfectly ripe cherries. The reward for farmers for this lot was 110% higher than the Ethiopian standard at the time of this year’s harvest. Coffee trees here grow in fertile red-brown soil under the shade of trees such as Bibira, Cordia Africana and Ensete ventricosum. Harvesting is done by hand, with pickers carefully selecting only ripe cherries.
ABOUT THE PROCESSING
This lot was processed using an experimental method where the cherries were first left to ferment in an anaerobic environment for 72 hours. During fermentation, the Koke station tries to lower the temperature as much as possible to keep the flavor profile as pure as possible. For this reason, the barrels of cherries are immersed in the river, where the constant flow of water from the mountains ensures a temperature of around 15 degrees.
On the palate, you can enjoy an explosion of tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple, complemented by notes of berry fruit.
