From DAK

Our 5th year roasting anniversary coffee is here! We chose this special lot made by our partner and colleague that went to Ethiopia for a 2nd year to experiment with yeast and fermentation. The result is beautiful and cleaner than last year, super fruity with a silky body. This yeast assisted semi-anaerobic natural brings out jammy fruits, apricot and brown sugar as tasting notes.

Gatta Farm was a natural forest before being discovered by the cofounder Mulugeta Dukamo while managing the construction of Gafisse Station. They planted the first coffee in 2013, and established the drying station in 2017. The vegetation and forest surrounding the farm is useful as natural shade for the farm and the drying station. Plantation, harvesting and processing works are mainly done by the local residents. Also women are involved and are mainly assigned to quality control and processing, except for labor intensive tasks. By offering working opportunities and proper wage this is a real benefit for the local residents. Daye Bensa’s Gatta Farm isn’t only a farm, it consists of a drying station, a lodge and a training facility. During harvesting season, the drying station becomes active and also offers accommodations for employees or trainees until the training has ended. The training facility offers training in coffee processing for interested individuals.
