About the coffee

Ethiopia is known as the birthplace of coffee! All beans are said to have originated from there and the only place where coffee grew natively. It is now the country’s biggest export, shipping out over 8 million 60kg bags of green beans a year. With its unique characteristics and flavours, Ethiopia produces some of the most exceptional Arabica coffee in the world.

This Grade 1 Natural coffee is from Sidamo, where over several years the region has developed a distinguished reputation for fine coffees, producing some of the most sought-after microlots in world. The combination of high altitude, fertile soil, consistent and plentiful rains, and an abundance of local knowledge are all contributing factors
to the high status of these coffees.

Cherries from the highest altitudes are harvested at their peak ripeness, with Brix measurements taken to ensure optimum sugar content. The cherries are then de-pulped and placed in an oxygen deprived environment for 7 days. Temperature is monitored throughout the process
