The first anaerobic natural of the new Ethiopian harvest. This Guji lot is processed at Layo Station, where the cherries ferment whole in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying. We taste purple fruits, purple florals, wild berries, the whole cup leaning the same direction. Like purple rain, basically.
Ripe cherries from Hambela Layo are selectively harvested at peak ripeness and carefully sorted to ensure uniform quality. The cherries are then placed in sealed, oxygen-free fermentation tanks for controlled anaerobic fermentation, which enhances sweetness, fruit complexity, and aromatic depth through slow microbial development. After fermentation, the coffee is transferred to raised African drying beds and sun-dried gradually under close supervision. Regular turning ensures even drying and helps maintain cup clarity and consistency. Once the desired moisture level is reached, the coffee is rested, hulled, and prepared for export.

Dak Coffee Roasters
Dak Coffee Roasters was founded by Louis-Philippe Boucher & Veronique Lagarde in 2019. Originally from Montreal, Canada, the duo roamed around Europe for more than 8 years before settling in Amsterdam where they founded the roastery. Dak means “roof” in Danish, and it was a moment in 2019 when Louis-Philippe was sitting on the roof of his home, drinking coffee when he decided to start his own roastery. Dak now consists of a small team of six.
“Coffee has always been part of our lives, although our love for specialty coffee has grown exponentially in the past few years. After working many years respectively in Finance & Marketing, we decided to pursue our dream, opening a coffee roastery. Dak was born from true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discoveries.
“We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and of course that are 100% fully traceable. We partner with importers that share our values and we roast each one of our coffees carefully to bring the best flavours they have to offer.”
—Louis-Philippe & Veronique
