Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Bekele Kechara is a distinguished smallholder farmer from Murago, Ethiopia, whose commitment to quality has earned him a place among the country's finest coffee producers. His farm sits at 2,350 metres, where cool nights and high altitude give the cherries the slow, even ripening that great coffee demands.

In 2022 Bekele's coffee placed 15th in Ethiopia's Cup of Excellence — the country's most prestigious quality competition — a rare honour that speaks to the care behind every lot. A dedicated father of eleven, he now works alongside his eldest son, Belaye, who oversees the family drying station. Together they produce exquisite natural and anaerobic-natural coffees that showcase the heritage and innovation of Ethiopian coffee.

This lot is the anaerobic natural: cherries are fermented in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying, a process-forward method that amplifies the fruit into the raspberry and watermelon notes you taste in the cup.

How to Brew Ethiopia Bekele Kechara Anaerobic

Espresso

Filter

If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a little finer to draw out more sweetness; if it turns bitter or muddy, grind coarser and pull back slightly.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

Each 283g bag brews roughly 18 filter cups at 15g per cup, or around 14 to 15 shots of espresso at 19g a dose. For a competition-grade Ethiopian single origin, that's two to three weeks of genuinely special mornings from one bag — a rare lot to savour slowly rather than rush through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as espresso or filter?
Both work beautifully. As filter it's bright, juicy and floral — the clearest way to taste the raspberry and jasmine. As espresso it pulls expressive and fruit-forward; use the 1:2.3 ratio for a sweeter, rounder shot.

What does it taste like?
Raspberry, jasmine and watermelon, with a silky body, gentle red-berry acidity and a clean floral finish. The anaerobic natural process makes the fruit especially vivid and expressive.

How fresh is it?
We ship whole bean within 24 hours of your order. These beans are at their best two to three weeks after the roast date, so they'll be in a great window when they reach you.

Any brew tip for getting the most out of it?
Start with the recipes above and adjust grind size first. Finer if it tastes sharp or thin, coarser if it tastes bitter. Fresh, even grinding and good water make the biggest difference with a delicate light roast like this.
