Tuke Yute 74158 • Anaerobic Natural

This lot comes from producer Tuke Yute and his network of 30 registered outgrowers. Tuke farms 10 hectares in Keramo Shanta, where he lives with his family and works as both a producer and a local cherry collector. His operation brings together coffee from his own land and neighboring growers, keeping the lot connected to the community behind it. For this lot, cherries are float sorted before an anaerobic fermentation in whole cherry and then dried slowly on raised beds.

This selection consists of 74158, a variety originating in Metu–Bishari, Illubabor, in the country’s southwest. Released through the Jimma Agricultural Research Center in 1978, it was developed by selecting and propagating promising plants from existing Ethiopian coffee populations with resistance to coffee berry disease.
