For February we go back to a washing station in Hambela, Guji that we've become so fond of! We are excited to showcase a beautiful fully washed coffee from Benti Nenka.
This is our "CLASSIC" category, meaning the coffee that’s produced resembles & undergoes the typical process & drying that the majority of Ethiopian coffees go through. The coffees go through the disc pulper to remove skin & fruit pulp before being transferred to the fermentation tanks & fermented underwater for up to 48 hours.
After the wet fermentation, the coffees are soaked for a couple of hours after which they are transferred to the drying beds & piled up in layers of 2 cm in height for over a 10-day period.
This is the 3rd year we have bought coffees from Benti Nenka & they are easily one of our favourites. Our "Single Profile" roast philosophy brings about a smooth acidity, cooked fruit-like sweetness & floral aromatics. We hope you will enjoy Benti Nenka #1 as much as we do!
