Supernatural Berry (NT2) — Yirgacheffe Gargari Gutity
(Supernatural Process | Variety 74110 | Gedeb, Ethiopia)

We are proud to present the Supernatural Berry (NT2), a distinctive coffee from the celebrated Yirgacheffe Gargari Gutity region of southern Ethiopia. This exceptional lot is sourced from farms located in the Gediyo, Gedeb, and Banko Gutity areas — regions renowned for producing some of the world’s most iconic coffees.

The plantations sit at an altitude of 1,983 meters above sea level, near coordinates 5.531° N latitude and 38.1916° E longitude — ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation and vibrant flavor development.

Processing Method:
The Supernatural process applied to this coffee is a unique variation designed to heighten complexity and fruit-forward characteristics. After meticulous harvesting, beginning in December and extending into the season, only perfectly ripe cherries of the heirloom variety 74110 are selected.

During processing, a carefully controlled fermentation takes place across two layers. Cherries are exposed to oxygen while being rolled and lightly fermented inside plastic bags, allowing distinctive flavors to develop without over-fermentation. This method preserves a balance between vibrancy and richness while enhancing berry and wine-like qualities.

After fermentation, the cherries are slow-dried for approximately 22 to 25 days under close supervision. Drying beds are loaded at a density of 60 kilograms per square meter, promoting even airflow and consistent moisture loss, critical for clean, complex final profiles.

Cup Profile:
Expect a vivid and dynamic cup with deep berry notes — think blackberries, blueberries, and stewed cherries — layered with floral highlights and a subtle, winey acidity. The mouthfeel is full and juicy, finishing with a refined sweetness that lingers beautifully.

Why It Stands Out:
The Supernatural Berry (NT2) from Gargari Gutity is a true exploration of experimental processing in Ethiopia’s most iconic region. It is a coffee for adventurous drinkers who appreciate deep fruit character balanced by the clarity and elegance that only Yirgacheffe can offer.
