BEHIND THE PRODUCTION
Kokosa Gr1 represents a fascinating combination of Ethiopia’s extraordinary coffee heritage and contemporary processing techniques. Grown at elevations of 2,100–2,300 metres, this coffee belongs to the diverse family of Ethiopian Heirloom varieties, a broad collection of indigenous Arabica populations that have evolved and adapted to local environments over generations.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee, and its exceptional genetic diversity remains one of the most distinctive elements of its specialty coffee production. These traditional varieties provide the foundation for coffees with remarkably diverse aromatic and sensory characteristics. What sets Kokosa Gr1 apart is its Anaerobic Natural processing. This approach combines fermentation in an oxygen-limited environment with natural processing, during which the coffee remains inside the fruit throughout drying. The result, as experienced through KUDU’s cupping profile, is an expressive and layered coffee, where floral aromas meet ripe berries, tropical fruits and a rich, creamy texture.
LOCATION
Kokosa Gr1 originates from the highlands of Ethiopia, at elevations between 2,100 and 2,300 metres above sea level. At these elevations, cooler temperatures can encourage slower coffee cherry maturation, contributing to the development of complex flavours and aromatic compounds. The interaction between altitude, local growing conditions and Ethiopia’s diverse indigenous coffee varieties creates significant potential for exceptional specialty coffee. Ethiopia’s coffee-growing highlands are deeply connected to the country’s agricultural heritage. Traditional coffee cultivation, the remarkable diversity of local Arabica populations and generations of farming knowledge continue to shape the identity of Ethiopian coffees. For Kokosa Gr1, this high-altitude origin provides the foundation for a cup defined by delicate florals, expressive fruit character and a lingering finish.

Kokosa Gr1 arrived to our roastery via EL CAFÉ, a company established in 2000 by Vasileios G. Anastasopoulos that is solely concerned in the coffee producing countries with discovering new coffee varieties on special farms.

Since then they supplie most of the largest coffee producing companies in Greece, by remaining as a dedicated green coffee import and trading company.

ANAEROBIC NATURAL: WHERE FERMENTATION MEETS FRUIT

Anaerobic Natural processing brings together two important elements of coffee production: fermentation under oxygen-limited conditions and drying with the coffee cherry intact. In this approach, whole coffee cherries are typically placed inside sealed containers, where naturally occurring microorganisms interact with the fruit in an environment with limited oxygen. These fermentation conditions can encourage the development of distinctive aromatic compounds, influencing the complexity and expression of the final cup. Following fermentation, the cherries undergo natural drying, retaining their outer fruit layers until the coffee reaches the desired moisture level. Careful monitoring is essential, as fermentation conditions and drying practices significantly influence the final sensory result.

The combination of these techniques can produce coffees with pronounced fruit character, aromatic intensity, complex sweetness and wine-like qualities. In Kokosa Gr1, this distinctive expression is reflected in KUDU’s tasting notes: jasmine and strawberry aromas introduce a vibrant profile of blueberry, papaya and black cherry. The creamy, juicy body creates an engaging texture, while the tropical, winey finish delivers a long-lasting impression.
