Omni Roast

a delicate anaerobic natural from Ethiopia, with blackberry sweetness, red grape, citrus and coffee blossom. rather than leaning heavily into fermentation, Megadu keeps a lighter touch: fruit-led and layered, but still clean, floral and transparent. the cup has a gentle wine-like depth, lifted citrus and a soft blossom quality that gives it a more refined, delicate character. it’s a beautiful example of an anaerobic natural that still lets the coffee’s origin and florals come through clearly.

resting our coffees

cafēn coffees are roasted to order. in the days that follow, freshly roasted coffee continues to evolve. as carbon dioxide gradually releases, the coffee begins to truly open up - harsh, roasty, or astringent notes soften, allowing a sweeter, cleaner, and more expressive cup to emerge.

resting gives the coffee space for its true character to shine.

we recommend resting our coffees for at least 14 days after the roast date. denser or high-elevation lots often reach their peak between 3 to 6 weeks.

process

whole cherries are floated and washed with fresh water, then transferred intact into a sealed tank fitted with an air valve. fermentation begins naturally with the yeasts and microorganisms present on the cherries, gradually expelling oxygen and creating an anaerobic environment for controlled fermentation. once complete, the cherries are rinsed again with clean water, then dried first on a ceramic patio before finishing on layered beds inside a solar dryer.

producer

this single-farm lot comes from Bette Buna’s farm in Megadu woreda, in Ethiopia’s Guji zone. the farm Bette Buna was founded by Dawit and Hester and now operates farms across Guji, Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Bench Maji, while also working with allied farmers. the Megadu farm spans 220 hectares of semi-forest and wild forest, with a team of full-time and seasonal employees responsible for harvesting, sorting, and processing each lot.
