Beyond India / Africa & Arabia

Ethiopia coffee

1500–2200 m · picked October to January · Arabica

Where arabica comes from: the plant still grows wild in the forests of the south-west, and most farms are a hectare or less, selling cherry to a local washing station. Ethiopia drinks about half of what it grows, in the coffee ceremony that is part of daily life.

Grown in
Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, Harrar, Limu, Jimma
Varieties
Thousands of local landraces (heirloom), often sold by lot number such as 74110 and 74158
Processing
Washed and natural, increasingly anaerobic

In the cup: Washed: jasmine, bergamot, lemon, black tea, light and delicate. Natural: blueberry, strawberry, wine, heavy and sweet.

Next to Indian coffee: The opposite end of the spectrum from a Chikmagalur washed: lighter body, far more acidity and florals. Indian roasters import more Ethiopian coffee than any other, and it is the usual first step for someone exploring beyond India.
