Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

Ethiopian coffee from the Guji region in Sidamo, grown at altitudes between 1,945 and 1,970 meters above sea level. Produced by Uraga factory, which processes cherries from small local farmers. The Welisho varietal is processed using a natural anaerobic method. Cherries are harvested at peak ripeness with Brix measurements taken to ensure optimal sugar content. After depulping, cherries are placed in an oxygen-deprived environment for 7 days with controlled temperature. The anaerobic fermentation begins after 18-24 hours as CO2 accumulates. Following fermentation, the coffee is sun-dried on elevated African beds for 15-18 days with careful turning to prevent over-fermentation. Flavor notes include passion fruit, melon, mango, and Earl Grey tea, with juicy stone fruit and floral characteristics.
