ETHIOPIA Gatta Natural Anaerobic NAX (WBrC 6th place) -- 100G

SCA SCORE 91.00

Gatta NAX was used by Simen Andersen at the World Brewers Cup in Melbourne, Australia 2022, placing 6th.

Gatta Farm has been named after a waterfall which crosses the farm and is landed on a total of 52 hectars. The location of the farm is in the midst of a 100-year-old natural forest. The first coffee trees were planted in 2013 and the drying station was built in 2017. Except for the very coffee trees, it houses a cupping lab, training center, guest residence and drying station. 

Daye Bensa works with various communities of out-growers from whom they receive cherries and work with multiple washing stations in the Bensa Sidamo area. Impressive staggering elevations of up to 2,300 meters, the beans are very dense, with heavy concentrations of the smaller screen sizes (the majority of the coffee screen sizes at 13-14). This enable the beans to inhibit a vast amount of powerful characteristics which are released during roasting.

The Gatta NAX consists of hand picked ripe cherries which are floated in buckets upon reception. This procedure removes over-ripe and under-ripe cherries. The cherries are put into sealed fermentation tanks and are then moved to African raised beds to be dried for between 14 and 18 days. The cherries are locally hulled into unsorted beans, and then transported to Addis for final sorting at Daye Bensa's own dry-mill.
