Process: Semi-Anaerobic, Natural, Raised Bed Dried

This rare, small-batch release is an experiment from the famed Wush Wush region of Ethiopia involving anaerobic-like fermentation. This micro-lot is already exceedingly delicious, but with the added limited oxygen experiment, the cup profile now pushes a unique, natural fruit sweetness that creates a one-of-a-kind cup. This is the first arriving coffee of the 2022 harvest from our friends at Catalyst Coffee. Much like the rest of the coffee world, Ethiopian coffee has had a tumultuous and challenging year. Between the pandemic, a tense election, and the start of the Tigray war, sourcing coffee in Ethiopia has presented unique challenges over the past three seasons. Our friends Zele, Emily, and Michael at Catalyst have continued to source amazing coffees and do so with kindness and generosity. At the outset of this season, we faced the fact that we would go through another season of cupping samples stateside and forgoing a trip to East Africa due to the pandemic. Instead of sending samples back and forth, we made the trip to Portland to visit their new lab to cup alongside them. We were able to complete our selections for the entire season after two intense days of cupping. The coffees from Wush Wush stood out on the table for the second year in a row, and it just so happens that this is conveniently the first to arrive. Check out the paragraph below to hear what Catalyst has to say about this coffee.
