Demeka Becha

Our special day lot from Ayele Tulu of the Demeka Becha Washing Station in the Sidama Region, is an outstanding example of the washed processed Ethiopian flavor profile. Sweet and tea like with peach and pronounced floral notes, this light roast coffee is sure to be a pleasing experience.

Ethiopia, the birthplace of arabica coffee, features cultivars, varieties, and flavors not seen in much of the rest of the world. We're able to share this special day lot with you care of our friends at Catalyst Trade, a majority Ethiopian-owned, woman-led, coffee importing company working to revolutionize the way coffee is traded. 

What's so special about a day lot? Sourced and overseen by Catalyst Coffee at the origin, our special day lot is the product of an initiative by Catalyst aimed at achieving optimal flavor and quality control. Rather than grouping beans with others from previous harvest days and batch fermenting, with a day lot, parchment coffee is isolated in a fermentation tank from a single harvest day and then tracked all the way down to the green sacks from dry milling.
