Ethiopia Harsu, Guji Oromia, Natural

The coffee

This lot hails from the vibrant, bustling community of coffee-farming families in the Guji district, who work tirelessly to produce some of the most exquisite coffees in the world. This lot embodies the extraordinary flavour and character of Ethiopian coffee.

Farm/Producers

The Guji region is renowned for producing coffee with vibrant, juicy berry notes, thanks to its rich volcanic soils, high altitudes, and diverse coffee varietals. Coffee grown within this region are often farmed on fewer than 5 hectares. Coffees farmed here are often grown from intersections of different fruit and vegetable crops, often making them organic by default. 

Handpicked from small neighbouring lots, the ripe cherries are brought to the Harsu washing station for processing. 

The process

This is a natural processed coffee, this method requires the coffee cherries to dry whole in thin layers spread out on African raised beds in the sunshine. 

The coffee is then de-pulped, leaving the results of the drying process (natural) to embed natural sugars, and fruit-forward notew upon the roasted coffee. 

Why we like it

This is another great, Ethiopian coffee. With lots of fruity-flavours, particularly berries, and chocolate undertones. Perfect for all brew methods.
