GUJI MEGADU
This coffee is naturally processed, a common practice in Ethiopia as it does not require the large volumes of water a washed coffee requires. Due to prolonged dry periods in Ethiopia and the water availability buying Natural processed coffee is a more sustainable option (and it adds lots of flavour) so it’s a double bonus.
The coffee is a beautiful example of a clean natural, when we describe coffee as clean it refers to the clarity of flavour and its delicate texture. Some naturals can be very heavy and boozy when left to ferment longer. Megadu is a perfect balance of sweet/juicy and clean/delicate.

A little about the process …
Local farmers grow locally selected varieties 74110 and 74112, which were developed by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) in the 1970s. Cherries are manually harvested before being delivered to the washing station. Washed processing begins with pulping the cherries and placing them into fermentation tanks where they are fermented in water for 48–60 hours. The fermented coffee is then washed, and the parchment coffee is dried on the station’s 200 raised beds for 7–10 days until reaching its ideal humidity.
