Adding another stunner to the menu! Bekele Utute produced this pure and electric natural lot that is one of the best of the year. Extreme altitudes and careful processing dictate his work. Saturated with peach and berry flavors, this is a coffee that leaves you craving more. Don't miss this one if you love naturals. Flavors of wild blackberry, peach, blood orange, and mixed berry cobbler. Bekele Utute's brother-in-law manages his farm in Kokose, which was the 5th place winner in the Cup of Excellence in 2021—a lot named after his nephew, Samuel, who manages Bekele's Kokose drying station. At his farm, he grows primarily 74158, a variety common to the quality-focused farms around Bensa. Like at his other drying station near Dembe—where he was born into a family of coffee growers—Bekele produces dry processed coffee at his Kokose site, which he purchased in 2019. He used to sell coffee to local suppliers before obtaining his export license in 2021, exclusively producing dry processed coffees (traditional naturals and anaerobics) for export to the U.S. and Korean specialty markets. This is our first import from Bekele Utute.
