Harar is one of Ethiopia's oldest and most distinctive coffees. Dry-processed in the east, it has a heavy, syrupy body and a wild, winey cup with blueberry, dark chocolate and spice.

Grown on small farms in the eastern highlands and dried in the sun. We also offer aged Harar: mocha-like, with fermented fruit and an earthy depth.

Flavour profile

  • Washed: Rare and lighter than the natural, with citrus and floral notes.
  • Natural: Blueberry, dark chocolate and spice on a heavy, syrupy body.
