Origin

Ethiopia shapes this coffee

Ethiopian highlands

Yirgacheffe, Sidamo and Guji · 8.98, 38.79

Terrain

Highland forests and smallholder gardens around historic coffee-growing zones.

Seed context

Ethiopian heirloom selections are genetically diverse, so florals, citrus and tea-like structure can be vivid.

Cup expectation

Washed lots lean jasmine, lemon and black tea; naturals often push berry and cocoa fruit.

Brew context

Pour-over is the clearest start, while AeroPress works well for fruit-forward naturals.
