The Bombe kebele (community) lies in the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, one of the best known coffee growing areas in the world.
Coffees from Bombe are processed at the Bensa washing station, where the coffee cherry is sun-dried on raised beds for 15 to 21 days, with frequent turning to ensure even drying. Natural processing is difficult to do well, as much is left up to the whims of nature, and producers have to meticulously monitor conditions and ensure the coffee cherry is turned often. It's very easy to end up with issues like mold or excess fermentation flavors which can overpower the natural terroir of the coffee (the unique flavor that comes from the variety, soil, proper harvesting, and clean processing). But when done right, the results can be truly great.
This natural process lot from Bombe embodies that. The coffee is clean and terroir driven with notes of floral citrus and honey. The natural processing adds flavors of cherry jam, lime zest, and strawberry, but doesn't overpower.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.

Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
