Collaboration

There’s nothing that we love more than messing around in our lab and experimenting with different flavours, roasting methods, etc. That’s why we love collaborating with the Sakicha washing station of the Guji region in Ethiopia: Asnake Kasa, the washing station’s proprietor, dabbles in fermentation experimentation. The cherries are placed on plastic sheets on top of the raised beds in piles, up to 15-20 cm thick, they are then rolled up in the plastic and they are left to ferment in this way. That’s where the name ‘pile up’ was born. After fermentation the cherries are dried on beds as is normally done for natural coffees. He also knows how to make the high altitude and weather conditions work together to create the perfect bean you have before you today. Enjoy!
