Bochesa Natural

Taste Story

Berry sweetness is prominent up front, with strawberry and raspberry sensations coming though the most. It offers a range of vibrant citrus flavors from clementine to the more floral orange blossom. A pastry and custard sweetness provides a nice canvas for you to experience these delightful flavors. 

Processing Journey

Once the cherries arrive at the local washing station they are floated to remove defective cherries. The cherries are then placed on raised drying beds for 14-21 days. During the first two days the cherries are rotated by hand every hour to avoid uneven drying; and to give them consistent exposure to sunlight and air. 

Farmer Profile

Smalllot farmers from the Arbegona Bochesa region deliver their hand harvested coffee to their local processing station. These smalllot farmers are the life force of Ethiopian coffee that has allowed roasters like us to bring amazing coffee to our local communities. Many of these farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops to maximize land use, and to feed their families. Farming is a vital undertaking for these farmers that we honor with thoughtful roasting practices.
