Grown at elevations of 1,400–2,000 meters in Ethiopia’s Jimma region, this naturally processed Arabica is sun-dried with the fruit intact, developing a bold, full body and winey character. Expect berry sweetness, dried fruit, earthy undertones, and a hint of spice, with a long, satisfying finish.
Processing: Freshly harvested cherries are sun-dried on raised African beds with the fruit still intact, allowing the beans to absorb the fruit’s sweetness. This traditional method creates a cup with a full body, winey depth, and complex layers of berry, dried fruit, and earthy spice. The result is a bold and distinctive coffee with a long, memorable finish.
Why Jimma: The region’s unique combination of altitude, Fertile Soil & Climate, Volcanic soils and abundant rainfall create ideal conditions for Arabica cultivation. Jimma coffees develop winey, fruity, and earthy flavors with a strong body.
