DAYE BENSA HAMASHO ANAEROBIC ESPRESSO: Ethiopia Anaerobic Natural

Hamasho Anaerobic has been one of our long-standing crew favorites, and it's back for the third year in a row!

The anaerobic natural process, paired with the 74158 Ethiopia heirloom varietal, beautifully accentuates the presence of tropical fruit in the cup. It begins with a light, subdued mouthfeel and finishes with crisp, clean clarity.

Hamasho Anaerobic is a perfect example of how a single bean can express a range of flavour tones, simply through a change in processing method. This is the same coffee as the Daye Bensa Hamasho Natural, but processed with the extra anaerobic stage during the processing.

Tasting Notes: Rambutan, Lotus Cookie, Mango Milkshake, White Peach, Earl Grey Tea

Cup score:  88.25 ☕   

Our previous releases from Daye Bensa have been very popular for their fruit-forward character and crisp mouthfeel. This one is no different. Check out some of our other Daye Bensa releases for 2025: Shantawene Anaerobic, Fruit Punch and Cherry Cola. 

* This version of Daye Bensa Hamasho Anaerobic is specifically roasted for Espresso. We also have a different version of Daye Bensa Hamasho Anaerobic for Filter*
