Product Description

We Taste: Grape, Strawberry, Guava

Bright, juicy, and vibrant with a flavor profile similar to a fruit forward but robust red wine.

Carbonic maceration is an oxygen-free fermentation process where whole or pulped coffee cherries are sealed in CO2-filled tanks, allowing sugars to break down into acids and alcohol. This controlled method enhances clarity and complexity while avoiding off-flavors. At Tracon’s Deri Kidame Washing Station, cherries are washed, sorted, fermented for 72 hours, and dried on raised beds for 21 days to ensure even drying and rich flavor. Tracon, a family-owned business with 30 washing stations across Ethiopia, processes all experimental coffees at its own facilities, including the Deri Kidame Washing Station managed by Kenzu Ahmed, who oversees cherry selection, post-harvest production, and farmer compensation. Tracon operates a state-of-the-art milling facility in Addis Ababa, equipped with advanced Pinhalese processing technology for precise sorting and quality control. Committed to supporting local farmers, Tracon provides training in modern farm management and prebooks coffee contracts to offer early premium payments, reducing financial risks for producers while ensuring a stable market for their harvests.

Methodical refers to their sourcing as relational. It's not about taking advantage or making the biggest profit, it's about what's right. They forge lasting partnerships with producers, frequently maintained for years, focusing on quality, transparency, traceability, and unique coffees and processes. Not limiting their focus on simply the bean, they look for alternative methods of growing, harvesting, and drying the beans for truly unique coffee experiences. Methodical partners with producers who prioritize sustainable practices like soil restoration, biodiversity, composting, clean water initiatives, and agroforestry.
