About This Coffee

While Yirgacheffe is famous for washed coffees, the Guji zone has gained renown for its exceptional natural processed lots. Drying the coffee cherry with the bean inside imparts intense fruit flavors. This Hambela coffee (a well-known area within Guji) explodes with ripe blueberry and strawberry jam notes, often accompanied by underlying floral hints (like lavender or rose). A smooth milk chocolate sweetness provides balance, and the body is typically syrupy and mouth-coating. It's a quintessential example of the 'fruit bomb' profile sought after in natural Ethiopians.

Coffee Varieties

Heirloom Ethiopian Varietals refer to the diverse, genetically wild coffee cultivars found across Ethiopia’s highlands. These are often unnamed landraces that contribute to the country’s famed floral, tea-like, and complex flavor profiles. Grown at high elevations under forest canopies, they embody genetic richness and diversity that breeders and roasters alike admire.
