Ethiopia Deri Kochoha
This beautiful gem is sweet w/ notes of melon and berry with a subtle honey accent, balanced by a mild burst of floral lavender. It has a long, smooth sweet finish. It’s a truly enjoyable, delightful roast that our team has already fallen in love with.
This bean comes from the town of Hagere Maryam in the Guji Zone, within the greater Oromia region of Ethiopia, south of the more famous Yirgacheffe District, and grown at elevations of between 5,400-6,000 feet. With approximately 600 contributing farmers, this coffee is a collaborative effort to harvest.
The Ethiopia Deri Kochoha is a natural processed bean. The ripe cherries are sorted and pulped, and then fermented for 36-48 hours, before being washed and prepared for drying. They are then placed in parchment on raised drying beds, where they dry in the sun for a couple of weeks, being turned frequently in the first few days.

Select optionsBlue Ayarza – Natural
$20.00 – $98.00Our first natural process from Guatemala, it has lower acidity than the Ethiopian naturals, while still having a fruity profile. Blackberry, mango are the first flavors we picked up, with guava, red currant following and just the most subtlest of chocolate coming through as the cup cooled. It feels like an Ethiopian natural without the acidity or strong citrus profile.
These beans come from the southeastern part of Guatemala, in a very rural, inaccessible, mountainous area above Laguna de Ayarza (locally known as “Blue Lake”), where there are less than 10 homes in total around its perimeter. Cold, deep and pristine, the lake is said to be formed by two massive volcanoes that collapsed into a large crater, parts of the bottom having never been found. The beloved lake is part of legendary folklore for the locals. Because natural process coffee beans have more rigorous requirements, only those grown in the 5,500-6,000 elevation are selected.
Due to the hilly conditions where the beans are grown, the natural process beans are transported to a neighboring region where there is flatter land available for drying them in the sun, with sufficient breezes to blow over them. Laid out in layers of 3-4″ deep, they are dried for 5-6 days while being constantly turned during the day. The cherries go from red or yellow to purple, and then black. They are then finished for a half a day in mechanical dryers, this final process helping to control the acidity and ensure a final dry process without any pesky rain showers that may cause re-absorption of rainwater.

great tasting natural processed bean. took me a few times to dial in but this bean did not give typical sour of light roasts at lower ratios. 15G in 30G out at 200F in 30 seconds. tasted better to me as a typical espresso than a lungo as some light roasts require.
