Ethiopia

Ethiopian coffee beans that are grown in either the Harar, Sidamo, Yirga Cheffe, or Limu regions are kept apart and marketed under their regional name, with the rights owned by Ethiopia.

Harar

Grown in the eastern highlands, it is one of the oldest coffee beans still produced.  The beans have a yellowy green colour and are dry processed. Most Harar beans will be longberry - and therefore an elongated shape. Others are shortberry and mocha (which tend to be peaberry).  It is grown at an altitude of 2000/2750 metres.

Sidamo

Grown in the South, where both washed and unwashed coffees are produced. The beans are of medium size and have a greenish/greyish color.  Washed Sidamo coffee is particularly appreciated.

Yirga Cheffe

One of the finest highland grown coffees. Wet processed and grown at high altitudes of 2000/2200 metres.

Limu

Wet processed, the bean is of medium size, round and green in colour.
