The technology

Steeped bags are a simple and elegant way to present a selection of the coffees we find most exciting, removing many brewing variables, and allowing quality and character to shine. Individual doses are ground and sealed in nitrogen-flushed packages, maintaining the clear aromatic character of freshly ground coffee, for over a year after roasting. Just add filtered water to enjoy one of our picks of the season.

Kachara

Bekele Kachara has been dedicated to coffee cultivation for over two decades, managing several farms in the Bensa area of the Sidamo region. His dedication to quality is evident in the quality of the coffee he grows on his small plot near the village of Murago. Together with his wife, Abinet, Bekele raises thirteen children, with four of them already involved in the family’s coffee production.

Bekele has a meticulous approach to coffee farming, cultivating several native varietals of coffee in harmony with the forest cover. He uses shaded drying beds he has built on the farm, allowing him to process his own coffee, although so far only naturals.

This lot has a deep and complex fruit character, reminiscent of aromatic tropical fruit, elements of stone fruit and subtle red berries. All of this underpins the typically Ethiopian floral notes, here softened into magnolia.

Although Bekele’s coffee isn’t certified organic due to the high costs of certification for small-scale growers, he uses organic methods, fertilising his farm with compost or agricultural residues. His level of expertise, especially in processing, comes from years of experience, including work at independent businesses and cooperative-owned washing stations in the nearby Bensa and Bona districts. 

He continuously seeks to improve, aiming to produce high-quality coffee through innovation and improvement. This led to his partnership with ZEM coffee, an exporter that specialises in maintaining traceability of small single farmer lots, transferring as much value as possible back to these individuals.
