A fruity, naturally processed Ethiopian single origin

Ethiopia Bekele Natural is a light-roast single origin grown by producer Bekele Karchara high in Sidama. Natural processing pulls out ripe, jammy fruit and a wine-like sweetness, with notes of red strawberries, wine gums, melon and bergamot. It is a juicy, expressive filter coffee for brewers who love bright, fruit-forward cups.

Coffee Details

About This Coffee

At up to 2,350 masl in Murago, Sidama, Bekele Karchara's farm sits at the leading edge of high-altitude Ethiopian coffee. Producing Natural, Anaerobic Natural and Honey-processed lots, Bekele relies on slow, careful drying to build the layered, fruit-driven flavours that define this cup.

This is a true single origin from one producer and one farm. Ongoing work on tighter cherry sorting, longer shade drying and organic certification keeps lifting the quality season after season, and you can taste that care in every brew.

How to Brew Ethiopia Bekele Natural

Aim to finish your draw down around 3 minutes. If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a touch finer; if it turns dull or drying, grind coarser.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At 15g per filter cup, a 250g bag makes around 16 cups and a 1kg bag makes around 65 cups. With its rare, high-altitude natural character, this is a single origin worth slowing down for and savouring brew by brew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better for filter or espresso?
It shines as a filter coffee. The natural process and bright, fruity profile come through cleanest in a pour over, where the strawberry, melon and bergamot notes have room to open up.

What does Ethiopia Bekele Natural taste like?
Sweet and fruity, with red strawberries, wine gums and melon up front, a winey depth through the middle, and a soft bergamot citrus lift into a clean finish.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date. These beans are at their best 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so plan ahead and let them rest before brewing.

Any tip for getting the most from it?
Use just-off-boil water around 93°C and a 1:16 ratio. Dial grind for a roughly 3-minute brew, then adjust finer for more sweetness or coarser if it tastes drying.
