Another year, another harvest. Mebrahtu Aynalems anaerobic natural is here for the 3rd year in a row!

Mebrahtu, founder of Halo Beriti washing station, produces high quality coffee lots that do extremely well in the Cup of Excellence, a producers competition for best coffees in the world. This year his coffee was an absolute beauty again.

Why do coffees from this place taste so exceptional floral, fruity and complex? Mebrahtu select the farmers that he works with very well, who undergo a multiple day training about the standards of the cherries he is after. The better the ingredient, the better the coffee! In return Mebrahtu pays the farmers way above the market price, benefits for everyone.

The cherries for this particular micro lot are controlled, anaerobic fermented. Sounds very technical and means so much as fermented in sealed, big, blue barrels where the presence of oxygen can be controlled. When microbes consume all oxygen in the barrel, a new environment start to exist. Other microbes get room to flourish and are responsible for the creation of new flavours. For three to five days the pH and temperature are monitored before the coffee cherries are dried and the beans are taken out of their fruit skin.

Size:

High intensity floral and tropical fruit forward cup.
