The best anaerobic coffees in our catalog
Anaerobic fermentation is changing how we perceive processing. We currently have 20 lots in stock that utilize this technique, ranging from anaerobic washed to natural and honey methods. The selection is heavy on high-end varieties like Geisha and Caturra, with significant representation from regions like Huila and Volcan. Roasters such as Phil & Sebastian, Glitch, and Axil Coffee Roasters are leading this category with complex, fruit-forward profiles. Whether you are looking for the intense clarity of a washed anaerobic or the heavy, fermented sweetness of a natural, these coffees represent the current peak of our catalog. We have curated these picks based on our composite scoring to help you navigate the specific, often polarizing, characteristics of these controlled-environment fermentations.
What to taste for:Look for intense, saturated fruit notes and a distinct, syrupy mouthfeel that sets these fermented coffees apart from traditional washed lots.
