A punchy-sweet anaerobic natural Ethiopia!

Suke Werekata is a remote village in the Uraga district of Ethiopia’s Guji Zone, where high elevations and an ideal climate set the stage for truly world-class coffee. The local smallholder farmers grow dense, flavor-packed cherries.

This lot is processed by Tracon, who are known for producing top-quality coffee. Their state-of-the-art mill uses specialized equipment for density sorting, size grading, and optical color sorting to ensure the highest-quality coffee.

Harvest begins with handpicking the ripest cherries and transporting them to the washing station, where the cherries are submerged in water for density sorting. The coffee is then placed in tanks to ferment anaerobically for 72 hours before being placed on raised beds to dry in the sun to a final moisture content of 11%. The coffee is hulled, sorted, and prepared for export.

This coffee lives in the space between a washed and natural Ethiopia, with juicy notes of apricot, nectarine, sweet raspberry, and big tropical punch energy.
