Intro:
September is delighted to feature Bekele Yutute Natural JARC 74158, an expressive and vibrant natural Ethiopian coffee from the high elevations of Bensa in Sidama. This lot highlights juicy tropical sweetness, berry complexity, and floral nuance, making it a standout choice for filter brewing that celebrates the dynamic fruit character Ethiopian naturals are known for.
The Producer:
Bekele Yutute is a respected producer from the Bensa region of Sidama — a coffee area celebrated for its high altitude, cool climate, and rich biodiversity. Bekele’s coffees have garnered acclaim on the global stage, including 4th place in the 2024 Ethiopian Cup of Excellence competition, reflecting years of dedication to quality cultivation and processing.
The Process:
This lot is crafted using a natural processing method, where ripe cherries are dried whole without removing the fruit flesh. The cherries are spread on raised shaded beds for about 18 days, allowing slow, controlled dehydration that encourages the sugars and aromatics in the fruit to intensely infuse the beans. This method builds rich fruit sweetness and complexity while maintaining clarity in the cup.
The Cup:
In the cup, Bekele Yutute Natural delivers bright, juicy fruit expression with a layered profile. Expect succulent mango nectar 🥭 sweetness up front, supported by deep blueberry 🫐 fruit intensity and a lingering finish of delicate floral 🌼 notes. The natural process amplifies fruit character without sacrificing balance, resulting in a vibrant but nuanced filter coffee.
Overall:
September’s Bekele Yutute Natural JARC 74158 is a beautifully expressive Ethiopian coffee that marries tropical sweetness, berry richness, and floral elegance into a coherent and memorable cup. Whether enjoyed as a morning pour‑over or a slow afternoon brew, this lot rewards curiosity and care with a deeply satisfying and aromatic experience.
What is the roast recency?
September doesn't generally advertise a roast preference to Filter or Espresso, however, this is an exception and this particular bag is best enjoyed as espresso!
We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 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). 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.
