  • About Liza anaerobic natural | Rwanda

    Liza washing station is owned by Jean Paul. He is a second-generation coffee farmer and we've been buying direct since 2018. This is a special preparation, limited edition micro-lot produced using a technique known as anaerobic fermentation:

    1) Harvest only very ripe cherry with careful sorting using flotation to remove defects and to wash the cherry.
    2) Place cherry into sacks and seal so that no air can get into the sacks for 48 hours.
    3) Dry the coffee cherry on raised tables.

    This technique helps to enhance flavours and to create some additional acidity. In this case it's created a natural processed microlot with elevated cup score and stunning tasting notes that include pineapple, strawberry and honey.

Processing Method

Anaerobic Natural

The anaerobic natural process is a modern interpretation where whole cherries are fermented in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying. This alters microbial activity, often intensifying the fruit character and developing rich, wine-like or spiced notes. Carbonic maceration natural and anaerobic fermentation natural terms are often used interchangeably in coffee.

Coffee Varietal

Bourbon

One of the oldest and most influential arabica varietals, Bourbon traces its origins to the island of Réunion (formerly Bourbon), where it was cultivated from Yemen's Typica stock. It's prized for its complex sweetness, often yielding notes of caramel, fruit, and chocolate. Bourbon tends to be delicate and susceptible to disease, but its cup quality is considered exceptional, and it forms the genetic backbone of many modern varietals.
