About Bekele Kechara

We’ve sourced another naturally-processed Ethiopian stunner from a single producer. 

Bekele Kechara, just like other producers we’ve purchased from, is a quality-focused producer with his own small farm. A couple years ago, he placed in the top 15 at Cup of Excellence — a prestigious competition that happens each year where thousands of coffees are submitted for consideration.

Bekele has a large family (11 children!) and one of his sons manages his drying station in the Murago area where they produce both natural and anaerobic natural coffees.

The variety — JARC 74158 — is one that was developed by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) by selecting local landraces that were naturally suited to environments where they already grew. So, it’s basically a formalized version of an heirloom variety that was found growing in an area. Neat!

This coffee is equal parts super juicy and super interesting with bright notes of raspberry, creamy honeydew melon and surprisingly floral cardamom. It’s unique enough for special occasions, yet approachable enough to be your every day morning cup. We’re in love.

Brewing Recommendation

While we strive to roast our coffees to be enjoyable using any brewing method,  we love the clarity that brewing with a Chemex brings. Try it hot or iced!

Chemex Brewing Ratio - 1:16 [i.e. 25g coffee : 400g water]

Iced Chemex Brewing Ratio -  1:6.6:13.2 [i.e. 60 g coffee, 425 g ice, 850 g water]
