Matte Matosa Anaerobic 74158 & 74112 | Ethiopia

MEET THE PRODUCER

Matte Matosa has been carefully cultivating coffee trees in the village of Doko, Bensa, Sidama, Ethiopia for over a decade. By prioritizing quality, consistency, and yield, Matte has earned a reputation for producing some of the cleanest natural process coffees in the region. Always curious and experimental, he has expanded into anaerobic processing, pushing the boundaries of flavor while maintaining the clarity and nuance his coffees are known for.

TRUST THE PROCESS

This lot is fermented anaerobically for 36–96 hours inside the whole cherry before being carefully dried on raised beds. This innovative method preserves the coffee’s fruity complexity and bright acidity while allowing wild, juicy, and layered flavors to emerge. The careful attention Matte gives each stage—from harvest to fermentation to drying—ensures a dynamic yet balanced cup that shines under a light or ultra-light roast.

TAKE A SIP

The cup opens with bold cherry notes paired with white chocolate undertones, reminiscent of cherry cordial candy. As it cools, juicy blueberry flavors emerge, with a creamy lactic mouthfeel evoking a no-bake blueberry cheesecake. Delicate floral layers of lavender and hibiscus complete the experience, offering a long, playful, and highly rewarding finish. Each sip unfolds new nuances, making this a coffee meant to savor slowly.

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12 - should we have any left in stock!). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
