Intense, fruity, and more wild than mild, the Guji Megadu presents notes of cherry, strawberry, and orange, along with a juicy sweetness. We love it as a flat white and cappuccino because the milk beautifully complements these aromas. With this coffee, we bring you the second coffee from the Meguda coffee farm in Guji from producer Bette Buna, after our decaf – this time with caffeine.
It is our first anaerobic natural and thus a conscious step in a new, more experimental direction, demonstrating how much influence targeted fermentation can have on taste and how diverse coffee can be beyond classic profiles.
Freshly roasted. We usually roast after you order and ship by the third business day at the latest. The roast date is on the bag.

Light to medium roast, clearly highlighting the fruity notes and resulting in a lively, expressive espresso.
Fruit-driven profile with juicy sweetness, characterized by strawberry, cherry, and orange, rounded off by a light, molasses-like depth.
An Anaerobic Natural process brings particularly intense and fruity aromas to the cup profile and provides more depth and sweetness. This is no different with our Guji Megadu. In the espresso cup, cherry and strawberry aromas dominate, accompanied by a molasses-like sweetness.
In the Anaerobic Natural method, coffee cherries are fermented in a closed, oxygen-free tank under controlled conditions and then dried whole. Unlike the classic Natural process, where fermentation occurs openly and rather uncontrolled during drying, this process is precisely managed and leads to significantly more complex flavor profiles.
