If the coffee cherry piles any higher than a finger joint depth in natural drying beds, the risk to Bekele Ututtie’s coffee quality runs higher than he would like. That’s why Catalyst Trade’s Ethiopian processing team works closely with him throughout processing stages, focusing on these important details.
Bekele was one of 30 producers who attended our in-person conference at Lake Awassa to discuss advanced processing, financing and much more as we convened around hearty meals of injera and Misir Wat.
Bekele’s hard work and experience shines through in his single farm natural lots, this year boasting flavor notes of pomegranate syrup, strawberry soda, guava, grapefruit zest and gin botanicals.
