A place where coffee is more than just a drink; it’s a culture, a ritual, and a way of life. Celebrate the long legacy of coffee with Ethiopia Single Origin.
The Birthplace of Coffee
Legend has it that coffee was discovered in Ethiopia by a curious goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed his goats dancing after eating bright red cherries from a certain tree. In the centuries since, carried on in the rich tradition of Ethiopian coffee ceremonies that celebrate the communal joy of coffee, the nation’s love for coffee has never wavered.
Today, Ethiopia is home to some of the most distinct and complex coffee varieties, with each region contributing its own unique character from fruity and wine-like to bright and floral.
Distinctive Growing Conditions
Ethiopian coffee is often grown in wild or semi-wild conditions, shaded by native trees in a biodiverse environment. High altitudes, often between 1,800 and 2,200 metres above sea level, combined with fertile soil and a temperate climate create ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. The result is beans that are rich in flavour and complexity, influenced by the natural surroundings and careful hand-picking by farmers.
Flavour Profiles to Explore
Ethiopia Single Origin is known for its vibrant and unmistakable floral and fruity notes. You’ll often find hints of jasmine, bergamot, citrus, and berries, with some varieties having more robust flavours with hints of cocoa and spices. Light body and complex acidity make it perfect for pour-over methods, where the delicate flavours can truly shine.
Let this exquisite coffee bring a taste of history and heritage to your cup, one that’s steeped in a love for the bean and the land it grows on.
