ABOVE / BELOW

Suitable for all brewing methods

From the acclaimed Daye Bensa of Shantawene, Ethiopia,
ABOVE / BELOW offers a rare experience.

The same crop, from the same village, crafted in two distinct processes. 

By preparing this coffee by both washed and natural processing, the unique qualities of this coffee are revealed in different ways-one highlighting bright, clean flavours, while the other embraces deeper, fruitier notes. This dual approach showcases the versatility and richness of a single harvest, allowing drinkers to explore how processing alone can shape the character of a coffee.

Daye Bensa, founded in 2006 and rooted in Shantawene Village, collaborates with local farmers to cultivate cherries from 1,900 to 2,400 meters, refining them at 15 washing stations across three districts. Their commitment to quality and community, recognized in accolades like the 7th place at the 2020 Cup of Excellence, extends beyond just farming. By experimenting with different processes, they invite coffee enthusiasts to experience the profound impact of method on flavour, offering a rare chance to taste the same origin in two distinct expressions.

This lot is available to purchase as a DUO only.
