Fortitude started out in Edinburgh in 2014 with Helen and Matt at the helm. What began as a small specialty café quickly grew into a full-on roastery by 2016, allowing them to take full control over flavour and quality. For their return to our Coffee Club, we went for an Ethiopian anoxic natural. Right from the first sip, there’s a vibrant wine gum note we love and it’s a complex without feeling crowded. Really creative and definitely not your typical Ethiopian natural!

ABOUT THE COFFEE

This lot comes from the Kercha processing station in Ethiopia’s Guji region. Guji, named after a tribe of the Oromo people, lies in the country’s south and is known for its rich, fruit-forward coffees.

This lot underwent an extended anoxic fermentation: ripe cherries are placed in stainless steel tanks filled with water and sealed to create an oxygen-free environment. The temperature inside the tanks is carefully monitored throughout, and after 4–5 days the cherries are removed and laid out to dry on raised beds for up to 18 days. The station refers to this method as the “Wine Process,” a technique they adopted from the winemaking world.
