This is a complex fruit-driven cup with notes of black cherry, tropical fruits, raspberry jam and cocoa. This is one you home connoisseurs want to experience.
"The bottom line: An exceptional Ethiopia anaerobic natural from Gera Estate — polished, aromatic and deeply composed, offering fruit clarity and luxurious sweetness. The finish is persistent and harmoniously sweet, highlighting fruit and floral notes with cocoa warmth." (Coffee Review, Nov. 2025)
The Gera Estate is at altitudes over 2,000 meters above sea level. This altitude combined with the nitrogen-rich plants & natural fertilizers provide excellent growing conditions. No chemical fertilizers or insecticides are used & production at Gera focuses on sustainability and great working conditions for its employees. The estate provides housing, childcare and education, clean drinking water, electricity, healthcare, & recreational facilities for all of its employees free of charge.
What is the Anaerobic Natural processing method This small lot was processed using the anaerobic natural process where coffee is fermented without oxygen. This distinct fermentation method results in complex, exotic flavors because of the different acids it creates. During this process, anaerobics are placed in sealed tanks that are pressurized from CO2 buildup. This additional pressure forces more juices and sugars into the coffee. The remaining pressure and oxygen are let out using releasing valves. As you can imagine, there is a considerable amount of meticulous attention to detail to produce this special coffee.
I bought this coffee as it was highly rated. I ground the beans ause an Aeropress, as i have done for years. I also use half and half. I have made my coffee this way for years. So I thought a 95 point coffee would have tremendous tastes. I was wrong. I almost threw up. The best way I can describe it would be like drinking sour milk. Thinking It could be the half and half I checked the creamer. Nothing wrong with it. Made another fresh pot and tried it again. Almost threw up again. To be honest I have never in my life come across a coffee which is this disgusting.I have no idea why this is. I have othe Magnolia coffees which I have enjoyed over the last few months. A new order of the Costa Rica and the Jade coffee arrived today and the experience has not put me off Magnolia Coffee. I can't think about trying it again and I would dread giving it to someone else.

Excellent anaerobic coffee!
The cupping notes are spot on. Like drinking a bowl of Raspberries and strawberries 🍓! Very rich and if you enjoy this type of coffee, I highly recommend it.

This is a very well balanced Ethiopian, with just the right amount of acidity. The ordering process through to delivery was flawless!

I've had multiple lots of this coffee (and a Gera Estate washed from another roaster back in '22) over 3yrs now and it's always an elegantly composed brew. This latest no exception. The intensity and complexity of an anaerobic absent unpleasant fermentation artifacts. Nothing wildly out of place or overly assertive in the cup. One my two favorite Ethiopian anaerobics ever.
This coffee has a wonderful flavor and is perfect any time of day. I love that the beans are roasted and shipped so quickly so the coffee is very fresh.
I’ve been really liking the fruitiness of this coffee along with the sweetness. Brewing it with a couple different drippers (v60&origami) I’ve found it had a bigger finish than even some of the Ethiopian coffees I’ve had, before or after.
The Gera Estate is very fruity with mild acidity.The Durato Bombe is one of the best coffees that I tasted. Wonderful complexity with a tremendous juiciness. Highly recommended.

This is literally the best coffee I have ever had. Sweet, chocolate and aromatic.
