Gore Dako – Ethiopia

Though Brazil is the highest coffee producing country in the world, very little of the coffee produced is “specialty grade.” Daterra focuses on creating this specialty grade coffee to showcase the unique terroir that Brazil can offer. The Anaerobic Guara is part of what is named the “Masterpiece Collection.” This is the highest title and is reserved for only the highest quality and most unique nano-lots of coffees produced on the farm, and we’re looking forward to share it with you.

Handpicked whole coffee cherries are placed into a sealed tank and left to ferment. A one way valve is placed on the tank blocking any oxygen from entering, as the coffee ferments it begins to release CO2 which forces out all of the oxygen from the tank. This soon creates an anaerobic environment inside the tank, providing ideal conditions for microorganisms to create enzymatic reactions inside of the beans, providing us with a unique flavour profile. After the fermentation, the coffee is then taken as whole cherris to dry on raised beds.

We’re always roasting coffee  – whether that is a new coffee or one that we haven’t had on the menu in a while. This time this is an Ethiopia Guji Uraga!

Ethiopia Guji Uraga

Country : Ethiopia
Region : Guji
Farm: Small Holders
Washing Station: Muda Tatesa
Variety: Landraces (90% Bourbon, 10% Typica)
Process: Washed
Altitude: 2,160
Tasting notes:
Weight : 300G/2LB/5LB

What’s Good About this Guji?

Guji’s Uraga region lies in a dense mountainous forest at some of the most extreme altitudes of Ethiopia. Coffee grown at these altitudes is some of the most sought after in all of Ethiopia as it offers a unique taste experience. Coffee from Uraga is ripe and fresh, presenting a bright, complex acidity with notes of lime and bergamot, with notes of stone fruit like fresh peach. The coffee has been fully washed to give a clean taste and showcase the flavours of the growing region. This coffee is deliciously fruity with a ton of florality.

Brew this coffee on a Hario V60, ORIGAMI Dripper, Kalita Wave or any brewing method you choose! Ideally, this coffee has been roasted for a drip-brewing method rather than espresso. Check out our new Vista espresso if you’re looking to brew something on the fast bar.
