Ranked 2nd place in the TOH Experimental Category, this lot comes from Buku Abel in Ethiopia’s Sidama region, grown between 2100–2300m among dense forest landscapes and rich volcanic soils.
TOH — Taste of Harvest — is one of East Africa’s most important coffee competitions, focused on showcasing the highest quality coffees across the continent.
This experimental lot reflects exactly that spirit: precision, intensity and originality.
Processed as an Anaerobic Natural, fully ripe cherries undergo a seven-day sealed anaerobic fermentation before slow drying on raised African beds.
The result is expressive and layered, while still maintaining structure and clarity.
In the cup, it opens with deep red florals and jammy sweetness, followed by apple cider-like acidity and dense berry fruit character.

From the wild forests of Gedeb Banko (2050–2280m), this washed lot comes from coffee trees growing in a completely natural ecosystem — untouched soil, deep root networks and dense native shade.
In this environment, cherries mature slowly and evenly, developing high density and refined acidity.
Daniel Mengistu’s team hand-sorts only fully ripe cherries before a controlled dual-stage washed fermentation. Slow raised-bed drying preserves the forest’s clarity and floral structure.
Expect a cup that captures the purity of its origin: bright, layered and remarkably clean.
