Story:
This Uraga anaerobic lot from Guji was selected to represent a modern, controlled expression of Ethiopian coffee, combining high-altitude terroir with precision fermentation techniques.
Our involvement began at cherry selection, aligning strict ripeness standards to ensure uniform sugar content before fermentation. The cherries were fermented in sealed stainless steel tanks, allowing full control over oxygen exposure, temperature, and fermentation duration—minimizing risk while maximizing flavor clarity and consistency.
Throughout fermentation, parameters were monitored to avoid over-fermentation, preserving structure and balance rather than exaggerated funk. Post-fermentation, cherries were slowly dried on raised beds under managed conditions to stabilize moisture and maintain shelf life and roast predictability.
This coffee was selected specifically for:
Clean, expressive anaerobic profile without harsh alcohol notes
Consistent performance across production roasts
Strong appeal for premium single-origin and competition-inspired offerings
Uraga represents a next-generation Ethiopian coffee—where traditional heirloom varieties meet disciplined processing, delivering complexity with control and reliability for specialty roasters.
