About coffee from Ethiopia
Ethiopia is where arabica coffee comes from, and it still grows thousands of local heirloom varieties. Most of it is grown by smallholder farmers in regions like Yirgacheffe, Sidama and Guji. Washed Ethiopians are known for floral, citrus and tea-like flavors, and naturals for ripe berry.
What the process means
Anaerobic coffees are fermented in sealed tanks with little or no oxygen before drying. The method usually produces intense, winey, very fruity flavors.
