This coffee combines traditional craftsmanship with exceptional terroir, offering a complex, fruity, and floral taste experience that is typical of the finest Ethiopian coffees.

Origin: Arebegona, Sidama

Arebegona is located in the Sidama region, one of the most renowned coffee-growing areas in Ethiopia. The coffee is cultivated here at altitudes between 2,100 and 2,300 meters, allowing the cherries to ripen slowly and develop layered flavors. Thanks to volcanic soil, a unique microclimate, and traditional farming methods, this region produces exceptional coffee quality.

Mixed Heirloom: Indigenous Varieties

The term Mixed Heirloom refers to a collection of local, wild Arabica varieties found only in Ethiopia. This genetic diversity provides a rich and distinctive flavor profile, characterized by floral and fruity notes, and is an essential element of Ethiopian specialty coffee.

Natural Process: Natural and Intense

In the natural (dry) process, ripe coffee cherries are sun-dried with the pulp still surrounding the bean. This method imparts a deep natural sweetness and intense fruity flavors. Thanks to careful drying on raised beds, quality remains high and the flavor profile clean and complex.

Flavor Profile
