Ethiopia GUJI GOGOGU 4 Days Anaerobic Natural

The Gogogu Washing Station
This coffee is processed at the Gogogu Washing Station, a community hub serving hundreds of local smallholder farmers who cultivate coffee on small plots, often just a few hectares in size. Located in the remote highlands of Uraga, the station has built a reputation for its commitment to quality and its willingness to embrace modern, innovative processing techniques. By purchasing ripe cherries from the surrounding community, Gogogu provides a vital source of income and plays a crucial role in elevating the region's coffee profile on the world stage.

4-Day Anaerobic Natural Process
Process begins with carefully selected, ripe coffee cherries being placed into sealed, oxygen-free tanks for a 4-day (96-hour) period of anaerobic fermentation. Inside the tanks, pressure builds, and unique microbial activity transforms the sugars and acids in the fruit's mucilage, creating intense, wine-like, and complex aromatic compounds. After this controlled fermentation, the intact cherries are moved to raised African beds and dried slowly, like a traditional natural. This hybrid method combines the wild fruitiness of a natural process with the complexity of anaerobic fermentation, resulting in an exceptionally aromatic, clean and flavour-saturated cup.
