In Ethiopia, a land known for its rich coffee heritage, the unique flavor profiles of its coffees are highly sought after. From floral and citrus notes to tropical and berry-like flavors, Ethiopian coffees offer a range of tastes that are difficult to match. Each year, coffee enthusiasts eagerly await the arrival of Ethiopian coffee, expecting even more pronounced and complex flavors than the previous crop.
Unfortunately, Ethiopia has faced various challenges, including strife and conflicts, which have affected the coffee industry. The ongoing conflict in the Red Sea has caused disruptions in coffee shipments, making it difficult to secure forward coffee needs. To ensure availability, it’s recommended to communicate clearly with traders about the types and qualities of coffee desired and secure all coffee needs forward.
Despite these challenges, We are committed to strengthening traceability to highlight the nuances of single farmer coffees. This year, they will offer a range of differently processed coffees from single producers, including washed, honey, natural, and more. These coffees, with a cupping score of 87+ and intense floral, citrus, berry, and tropical notes, are sure to amaze coffee lovers.
