Ethiopia — Gatta 168 Hour Anaerobic Provenance The penultimate release in our 10-Year series, and a glimpse into the future of Ethiopian coffee. This Gatta lot pairs the vibrant fruit character of Sidama with a more experimental approach to processing. A 168-hour cold fermentation opens up new possibilities for flavour, while retaining the qualities that make Ethiopian coffees so distinctive. Explore our full 10-Year series. Process Ripe cherries are harvested, before being sealed in GrainPro bags and submerged in tanks of cold water for 168 hours. Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are transferred to raised African beds to dry, resulting in a clean and balanced cup bursting with vibrant fruit. This process has evolved from an early experiment at Gatta, where the sealed bags were placed directly in the river, with cold water flowing over them throughout fermentation. The approach was refined for this lot, using water-filled tanks to maintain the low temperatures needed for the extended fermentation. It’s an early step in Daye Bensa’s exploration of longer, controlled fermentations. And with a cherry colour sorter, stainless steel tanks and dark drying room now in place, there’s plenty of scope for further experimentation in future harvests. A peek at the possibilities ahead for post-harvest processing in Ethiopia.

A Single Origin Coffee from Ethiopia This bright & fruity washed coffee from Uraga is our favourite as a lip smacking filter brew, or even cold brew.

Our third year with this stunning natural from the Rumudamo station which was one of the stations we visited back in 2025. Arbegona is one of the 30 district in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Sidama Zone, Arbegona is bordered on the south by Bona Zuria, on the southwest by Bursa, on the northwest by Gorche, on the north by the Oromia Region, and on the east by Bensa. The major town in Arbegona is Arbegona. This coffee comes from small plots in the highland area of Arbegona in a specific village called Rumudamo, which benefits from the very high altitudes up to 2300 MASL. Coffee is the main cash crop in this area, though many other crops grow here such as sugar cane, false banana, spices and vegetables. Cherries are sorted based on density and quality by floating them in large water tanks. After flotation, the cherries are transferred to African raised beds with mesh nets. The coffee is rotated every 30 minutes for even dryness and to control the fermentation process. The average drying time takes about 12-15 days based on the temperature and humidity. Then the dried cherries are stored in warehouses for flavour development.

Yes folks, it's time for the return of this washed beauty from our trip to the home of coffee back in January last year with Atrie from Coffee Legends to the Daye Bensa operation. Rumudamo is the jewel in the Daye Bensa crown and coffees from this washing station in the Arbegona area within Sidamo have placed highly in CoE competitions in previous years (2nd and 3rd spots in 2020)! Arbegona is one of the 30 district in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia.

From the home of coffee itself, comes this washed lot from the Doyo Co-operative. The heirloom varietals grown here represent the legacy of coffee growing in this region - classic flavours and high desirability. This coffee was roasted to pull out the complex sweetness of sweet and salty malted milk chocolate whilst retaining a deep fruit note of raisin and subtle citrus flavour.
