The Short Version

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe “Worka Sakaro” At A Glance

Origin

Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

Process

Anaerobic

A fruity, berry-like coffee from the Yirgacheffe growing region. What makes it unusual is anaerobic processing, fermenting in an oxygen-starved environment, which lengthens the natural bio-chemical reactions and produces a distinct flavor profile. The cherries are monitored with brix meters to find the exact point of optimization.

Provenance

Where It Comes From

Lost Dutchman Coffee Roasters product range

A fruity, berrylike coffee from the Yirgacheffe growing region of Ethiopia. What makes this coffee unique is that it is anaerobic processed. This processing method includes allowing the coffee to ferment (all coffees go through a fermentation process to some extent) in an oxygen-starved environment, which lengthens the time allowed for natural bio-chemical reactions to take place which results in a unique flavor profile. The coffees are carefully monitored throughout the process using instrumentation (brix meters) to determine the exact point of optimization, at which point the coffee cherries are removed from the fermentation vessels and moved onto the next steps.

Before You Order

Questions

Orders are typically shipped the same day they are roasted. So, it comes down to how fast the Post Office is. They advertise “from 1-5 business days depending on which state you’re located in.” You’ll receive tracking information via email so you can track the package’s progress.

It’s best not to grind the beans until you’re ready to use them, so grind just before you brew. Match the grind to your brewer: coarse for French press, Medium for most drip brewers. For pour overs: Medium to coarse, whichever gives you a four minute brew time (in general). Fine to very fine for espresso depending on your equipment.

Keep it in the bag it came in and put a rubber band around it. Glass containers are not great as the idea is to minimize the air (oxygen) around the beans. Unless completely full, glass containers have too much head room. If storing for up to several months, freezing is a good idea as long as the beans are completely sealed (like in the bags they come in). Studies have shown time and again that freezing, if done right, is a good option.

Currently, subscriptions are limited to a mix of single origin varietals and blends. A single coffee type for the length of the subscription is not an option. You can see how it works on the Coffee Club page.
