Question 1

What does anaerobic Zambia coffee taste like?

Accepted Answer

anaerobic processing shapes the cup before the roaster ever sees the bean. Across the 3 anaerobic coffees from Zambia currently on Tamp, including Shakari - Zambia by Cypher Urban Roastery, Zambia Kasama Anaerobic by Bun Coffee, ZAMBIA KATESHI ESTATE ANAEROBIC NATURAL by Push x Pull Coffee, the character comes from the interaction of Zambia's growing conditions with how the cherry was dried. Each coffee below carries the roaster's own tasting notes.

Question 3

How is anaerobic processing different?

Accepted Answer

Washed coffees have the fruit removed before drying, giving a clean, acidity-forward cup. Naturals dry with the fruit still on the bean, producing heavier, sweeter, fruit-driven flavours. Honey sits between the two. Anaerobic lots ferment in sealed tanks, which pushes the cup further toward intense, sometimes boozy fruit.
