To reach the Bensa area where the Bombe Processing Facility is located, it requires a local flight from the capital city Addis Ababa to Hawassa, and then a 3 hour long drive. From here in the USA, it’s hard to comprehend and appreciate how a coffee as beautiful as this one arrives into your cup from so far away with a lot of room for error. But here it is. 

This coffee specifically is produced using the “natural” or sun-dried processing method which is the same style of our Juicy Fruit offering from our Core lineup. The process yields a cup that is very fruit forward and with great intensity caused by the whole coffee cherry drying in the sun for 15-21 hours, allowing all of the sugars of the cherry fruit to soak into the seed (the coffee bean) inside. It’s a very simple yet risky process, but when done well, it results in an unmatched flavor that enhances its all natural terroir.

How should I brew?

We think you should brew any way you like. But if you're looking for recommendations, a 1:16 ratio of coffee to water is our favorite. 60g/L is good too, if you're into that.

Grind your coffee fresh at a medium-ish grind size (depending on your brewer), heat up some nice water, and you're most of the way there.

If you're using a V60, 20g of coffee to 320g of water is great, and it's helpful to have a pouring kettle. Bloom, wait, and then pour high and in a steady stream for a nice extraction.

If you're using a batch coffee maker, 60g of coffee to a liter of water is just right. Brew it up and let it rip.

What should I do with a Liaise Coffee Bag Clip?

Yes, our 12oz coffee bags are resealable. BUT if you get a 5lb bag, it is not resealable. If you decide to go big with a 5lb bag from Liaise, the bag clip is a perfect tool. Just remember, the Liaise Coffee Bag Clip is NOT a chip clip. It's a coffee bag clip.
