Ethiopia Guji Benti Neka

Guji, Ethiopia. Benti Neka Washing Station. Washed Process. Kurmue, Dago & Wolisho Varietals. Pear. Lemon Candy. Honey.

Benti Neka, situated in West Guji, is a washing station specializing in washed coffee. Ripe, sorted cherries from farms at elevations of 1,900 to 2,200 masl are pulped in a disc pulper and fermented in cement tanks for 36 to 48 hours to remove mucilage. The pulped coffee is dried for seven to nine days. Once the parchment coffee reaches a moisture content of 10-12%, it is stored in labeled conditioning bins until ready for the dry mill.

This coffee is clean and sweet with soft sweet, fruit flavors and some floral notes too!

What's up with 'Organically Grown'? This green coffee is Certified Organic up until we start roasting and packaging it. While most Ethiopian farmers naturally practice organic farming, few pursue the formal certification process. At our roastery, because we do not have the certification ourselves, and batches of coffees that are not-certified are in the same machine before and after this batch, we cannot advertise it as Organic.
