This lot underwent a 96-hour carbonic fermentation period that enhanced fruit expression, producing ultra-sweet notes of strawberry, vanilla, and Concord grape with the perfect gentle acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLed by Gabriel Restrepo and Hester Syoum, t\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehe expert processing team at Bette Buna are always impressing us with their unique flavour profiles as they push the boundaries of experimental fermentation techniques.

With a background in NGO and development work, they decided to grow and scale the farm as the foundation for a larger company with greater impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter starting in 2019, they have now grown considerably, expanding the Taferi Kela farm from two to 50 hectares and spreading to a second 50-hectare farm in Megadu, Guji. Both farms have tree nurseries where climate change-resistant varietals are grown to share with surrounding farmers. Similarly, they have facilities where they not only process their own lots but also educate other farmers in processing techniques, while their Coffee Campus programme provides training in roasting, brewing, and even exporting. They provide countless opportunities for their farming communities by not only teaching and motivating farmers but also hiring local workers at their nurseries and mills, including single mothers and disabled people who would struggle to find employment elsewhere. They also prioritise sustainable farming methods, rewild forests on their land, and protect local wildlife to promote ecosystem health for future generations. We're proud to support Bette Buna and plan to partner with them for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis lot began with carefully sorted cherries placed in hermetic containers, where carbon dioxide was flushed in to create an anoxic environment. The 96-hour CO₂ fermentation promoted intracellular fermentation within the coffee beans and encouraged selective microbial activity, dominated by yeasts and lactic acid bacteria.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eElevation: 1900-2200 Metres Above Sea Level\u003cbr\u003eVarietal: 74112, 74110, Wild Guji Megadu\u003cbr\u003eCup score: 90\u003cbr\u003ePrice paid per kg: £18.85\u003cbr\u003eProcess: 96hr carbonic natural\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethiopia","offers":[{"title":"126g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56932311269762,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"126g \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":56932311302530,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"126g \/ Ground for Aeropress (medium fine)","offer_id":56932311335298,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"126g \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":56932311368066,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"126g \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56932311400834,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56931735929218,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":56931735961986,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Aeropress (medium fine)","offer_id":56931735994754,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":56931736027522,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56931736060290,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56931736093058,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":56931736125826,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Aeropress (medium fine)","offer_id":56931736158594,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":56931736191362,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56931736224130,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9566\/1686\/files\/F.jpg?v=1779464149","url":"https:\/\/www.skylark.coffee\/products\/ethiopia-bette-buna-cherry-ascension","provider":"Skylark Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
