This medium roast, G1 rated blend is made from Ethiopian Harrar coffee, one of the most sought-after coffee varieties in the world. Harrar coffee is known for its distinctive fruity and wine-like flavor profile, with a hint of blueberry and dark chocolate.
Ethiopia has had more time than any other country to figure out the best techniques to produce a tastier coffee than anybody else, and this Harrar coffee is a prime example of that. The beans are hand-picked and naturally dried under the sun in the Oromia region of Ethiopia, home to some of the world's finest coffee.
This specialty grade coffee scores over 85 points, which places it in the top 5-7% of coffee in the world. It is recommended to enjoy filtered, either in pour-over or with the classic French press, to fully appreciate its complex flavors. When brewed with high-quality beans, you can enjoy hints of berries, honey, and chocolate. Coffee brewed with these beans is extraordinarily smooth and has pleasant acidity much like that of red wine.
In addition to its outstanding flavor, this coffee is also organic and ethically sourced. It is grown by members of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (OCFCU), a democratic farmer-owned cooperative that works exclusively in the Oromia Regional State. This region accounts for more than 65% of Ethiopia's coffee-growing land, and the members of OCFCU process and supply high-quality organic Arabica coffee for direct export.
Overall, this Ethiopian Harrar coffee is a true gem that you should not miss out on. With its rich flavor profile and ethical sourcing, it is a coffee that you can feel good about enjoying.
