Supernaturals are developed using a combination of techniques related to fermentation and drying.

Most lots utilise two or more of these techniques.

  • Increasing temperature to speed up fermentation rates
  • Decreasing temperature to lengthen fermentation times
  • Thick-stack drying at various depths on raised beds
  • Shade drying to slow down drying times at different levels of moisture in the cherries
  • Covering or wrapping the cherries to retain heat and moisture for short bursts of time
  • By adjusting the way we process coffee, we can discover new expressions from the same varieties and regions that we think we know. This happens when we can work with the natural state of the cherries in each origin, and then choose processing methods and techniques that will most enhance its characteristics. To find our enhanced flavour, sweetness and body, we develop natural coffees that go beyond expectations… Super-naturals.

A. We do our production roasting on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (except public holidays), and roasted coffees are stored in the warehouse for a few days for the dispatch of orders. 

B. All the coffees are sent from the stock(warehouse) unless it requires a specific roasting date. Thus, the coffees you will receive will be between 2 and 7 days after the roasting. 

C. If a specific roasting date is requested, it might take a little longer (1-2 days) to get delivered.

D. All orders are dispatched on the next day (except public holidays).

About This Coffee

Yirgacheffe is a district located in the southern region of Sidamo, Ethiopia. It is considered one of the origin regions of coffee. The washed coffees that come from this district are well-known and highly sought after, so much so that Yirgacheffe is considered a micro-region of its own. The farmers in this region tend to follow traditional farming methods. They intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops, which is a popular practice among small farmers as it helps maximise land use and provides food for their families. In addition to intercropping, most farms in Yirgacheffe are also organic by default. Farmers in Yirgacheffe generally use very few or no fertilisers or pesticides. Most farm work is done manually by the immediate family of these so-called ‘garden farmers’.


Processing Details

  • Coffees grow in small-holder farmers’ backyards (known as ‘garden coffee’) in the Yirgacheffe region.
  • Cherries are harvested from October to January and taken to the washing station, where small-holder lots are combined.
  • Coffee is hand sorted to remove under and over-ripe cherries and select cherries between 18-22o Brix.
  • Cherries are shade-dried on raised beds in thick piles and regularly turned over to control fermentation for the first 3-5 days.
  • Cherries are then thinned out during the day but piled up again inside plastic ‘cocoons’ at night for 5-8 days.
  • Finally, cherries are spread in thick layers on beds with frequent moving for 10-15 days until moisture reaches 10-12%
  • Dried beans are then stored in the dried cherry pod for protection and to maximise fruit flavours until milling and export preparation.
  • Our local partner, Primrose, does further quality control and sorting during milling. As a minimum, they do a triple-pass through a colour sorter and a triple-pass through hand-sorting tables to improve overall quality.

Basic Brew Method

NORMCORE STYLE SUPER LIGHT ROASTING

We roast our single-origin coffees as lightly as possible. It's often lighter than the standard light-roast profile (Our development time ratio is 8-10%, while a typical light roast's ratio is around 13-16%).

Regardless of its origin, varietal or process, our approach is to maximise the flavour profile of the coffee by minimising flavours caused by roasting. Our single-origin coffees have a delightful silky texture and well-balanced taste, despite being lightly roasted.
