What is carbonic maceration and how does it affect my coffee?
Carbonic maceration is a fermentation method inspired by winemaking. Whole coffee cherries are sealed in a tank, oxygen is removed and carbon dioxide is introduced to create an anaerobic environment.
Without oxygen, fermentation happens inside the cherry itself. This slower, controlled process transforms sugars and acids, often producing coffees with brighter acidity, deeper sweetness, and complex, wine-like fruit notes.
Fermentation is integral to shaping flavour, guiding how sugars, acids, and aromas develop throughout processing.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia · Oromia Guji Region — Wine / Anaerobic Process 🍷☕️
Produced on a 200-hectare farm in the Oromia Guji region at 2,000–2,100 MASL, this Ethiopian coffee delivers a unique, fruit-driven cup.
Using anaerobic (oxygen-free) fermentation — introduced to Guji in 2020 — only perfectly ripe cherries are meticulously hand-sorted before being sealed into stainless-steel tanks. CO₂ is allowed to escape while oxygen is kept out, with temperatures held below 25°C to preserve clarity and sweetness. Fermentation runs for 4–5 days, pushing juicy mucilage flavours deep into the bean before a slow 15–18 day dry on raised beds under full sun.
The result is a vibrant, elegant cup with lifted sweetness and a silky finish.
Tasting notes:
Florals • Mango • Plum • Purple grape • Blackberry
Produced with the support of Tracon, whose farmer-focused initiatives include education programs creating long-term opportunities for families across the Guji community.
