DARRRK

A natural-process Ethiopian roasted dark specifically for espresso and immersion brewing. Perc developed this to maximize body and richness, layering deep roasty notes with the fruit-forward character that natural processing preserves. Expect thick sweetness and a syrupy mouthfeel that shines when pulled as espresso or brewed with immersion methods. Exceptional with milk.

Decaf Colombia Huila

From Huila, Colombia, this carefully sourced decaf is roasted with intention to deliver a genuinely satisfying cup. Perc sources only one decaf per season, ensuring quality and care in selection. The cup is clean and balanced, with prominent notes of vanilla, toffee, and chocolate, eliminating the harshness sometimes found in decaffeinated coffees. This is a decaf built for those who refuse to compromise on flavor or smoothness.

Decaf Rwanda Nyamasheke

From Celestin Rumenerangabo's farm and washing station in Nyamasheke, Rwanda—a district near Lake Kivu bordered by the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ripe cherries are density-sorted in flotation tanks and dried on raised beds for 4–6 weeks, then decaffeinated using the Swiss Water process, which preserves delicate flavors while removing caffeine. The result is a sweet, refined cup with distinct notes of raspberry, pomegranate, and pie crust—proof that decaf doesn't mean compromise on taste.

Ethiopia Chelchele

From Banko Chelchele village in Gedeo Zone's high-elevation Gedab district, this coffee benefits from rich volcanic soil and cool climate conditions ideal for complex fermentation. The lot undergoes 7–10 days of anaerobic fermentation in cold, pressurized tanks calibrated to precise Brix levels, then dries on raised beds to 11% moisture—a controlled approach that amplifies fruit-forward character. Expect luscious blueberry and black plum notes layered with unexpected sugar cookie sweetness. This is a standout natural-process expression that justifies its return to the lineup.

Ethiopia Suke Werekata

Suke Werekata grows at high elevation in Ethiopia's remote Guji Zone, where smallholder farmers cultivate dense, flavor-packed cherries. Tracon's mill uses specialized density sorting, size grading, and optical color sorting to ensure quality. The lot undergoes 72-hour anaerobic fermentation in tanks before sun-drying on raised beds, creating a hybrid profile between washed and natural processing. Expect juicy stone fruit (apricot, nectarine), sweet raspberry, and bold tropical character—a coffee that bridges clarity and wild fruit intensity.

Ethiopia Tag Team

Ethiopia Tag Team pairs two distinct anaerobic fermented lots from different zones. Banko Chelchele (Gedeo Zone) undergoes 7–10 days of cold, pressurized fermentation to precise Brix, yielding intensely fruity, sweet notes of blueberry, black plum, and sugar cookie. Suke Werekata (Guji Zone) ferments anaerobically for 72 hours before drying on raised beds, delivering a bright, juicy cup with nectarine, raspberry, and tropical character.
