About this Coffee
Yeast Fermented, Ethiopia
A special, delicate coffee developed through experimentation.
Let me introduce you to this very special, experimental batch of coffee. Here the beans were inoculated with yeast as part of the production process. There was a very high risk of failure here as introducing any living creature inherently comes with risk. If they had failed, the result would have been the total loss of their annual yield.
Instead this brave group of Ethiopian farmers successfully double ferment their beans (first with yeast, followed by a second lactic acid fermentation) resulting in a very unique taste. We begged them to tell us but we don’t know what kind of yeast they used. Was it bread? beer? champagne? sake? a San Francisco sour dough starter??!? Such a missed marketing opportunity.
Anyway if you love fermented coffee, this is the one’s for you!

How to Brew It
20g Coffee : 300ml of water
For easier math, we recommend a ratio of 20g of coffee per 300ml of water. If you are doing a drip method, aim for your grinds to be about the size of coarse salt.
Tips
Resting Your Coffee
Right after roasting, coffee needs some time to chill for a minimum of three days. Our roasting cycle ensures that when you receive the beans, it’ll have rested the minimum needed. However, the flavours will continue to improve over a time. How long? Well that depends on the roasting level you ordered.
Tips
Peak Flavor Time
Your coffee will taste best depending on the roast level:
Light: 7-9 days after roast date
Roaster’s Choice: 5-7 days after roast date
Dark: 3-5 days after roast date
But every bean and person is different so please experiment and find what works for you!

No Pre-Ground Beans?
Unfortunately no. The second you grind, you expose your beans to the nemesis of delicious coffee: oxygen. Grinding introduces so much oxygen that your coffee may stale before you receive it.
To ensure you get the best tasting coffee possible, we recommend you to buy a grinder.
