Rare and exotic Ethiopian coffee

Ethiopia is known as the spiritual birthplace of coffee, and Harar is the region where it all started. Although technically it was Yemen, Ethiopia is where coffee gained traction.

Harar coffees are extremely difficult to source (read, almost impossible).

The volumes produced each year are small and, unfortunately, reducing as climate change impacts the growing conditions. Significant and persistent periods of drought severely hamper coffee farming.

Harar is a unique and magical coffee - complex, surprising and delightful.

At times, the coffee can be rustic, spicy and robust. Yet, in other moments, you can taste vibrant red and blue berries (that's what we aim for).

This lot we are offering in our store is hands-down the cleanest and sweetest we have seen in many years. That won't last forever.

It is a delicious coffee with flavours of strawberry, hints of blueberry, a syrupy body and fantastic richness.

About Our Harar coffee beans from Ethiopia

Our Ethiopian coffees are usually sourced in smaller quantities from multiple lots throughout a 6-month coffee crop cycle.

For Harar, in particular, there are times when this rare coffee is not available. Some harvests are lower in volume, or no crops or inferior quality.

When Harar meets our standard, we grab it. 

As we source many different lots throughout the year, each of those lots has its own distinct and unique characteristics. 

Harar is a Naturally processed coffee.

Harar is a delicate heirloom varietal. The yields are low compared to modern varietals in areas like Sidama and Irgacheffe.

As a naturally processed coffee, the coffee cherries have been dried in the sun over many days to increase sweetness, fruit complexity and rich body.

Natural processes coffees have a mottled appearance when roasted. 

A mottled appearance means many shades of brown and even lighter-shaded beans that are almost yellow, although those light-shaded beans are a minority.

The uneven appearance of naturally processed coffees is no cause for alarm - it's completely normal.

It's also why the cup is more complex, sweeter and diverse.
