About the bean
This premium coffee is a highly rated sun-dried offering from Ethiopia's eastern highlands, exported worldwide from the town of Dire Dawa - known for its colourful streets lined with stores and trees. Dire Dawa connects by road to the ancient walled city of Harar (also Harrar).
Naturally processed Harrar coffees are known for a rich-bodied winey, fruity brightness that can taste wild in the cup, compared to the sweeter wet-processed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Blueberry is the lingering note associated with the Harrar.
A real gem! Not as winey as is typical for the Harrar and very flavorful. Super blueberry in the cup. Go to a City, even a Vienna roast profile - the blueberry jams all the way through the profile spectrum on this one.
