Ethiopia Harrar

Ethiopian Harrar is also know as the “Wild One” as it can provide a different experience with every cup providing a dizzying array of tastes that can vary significantly from harvest to harvest. The bulk of Ethiopian coffee production is a natural dried bulk commodity product called Djimmah – mis-sold as Mocha. The true Mocha flavours are found in the rarer and more expensive Sidamo, Harrar, Ghimbi and Limu coffees.

All of the Ethiopian coffees that we currently purchase are selected on the basis of their exceptional cup profile – we have no specific information on exact provenance at this moment. We assess dozens of samples before buying, and the only traceability of this particular lot is that it comes from a region of Harrar. Direct access to growers and reliable millers in Ethiopia is complicated, so we rely on the cupping table only for the time being in Ethiopia.
