Arabica coffee has its roots in Ethiopia. According to the legend, a shepherd called Kaldi accidentally discovered coffee: he found his goats more active after consuming ripe, red coffee cherries.

As a labor-intensive crop, coffee provides means of livelihood for over 15 million people in Ethiopia. Over 90% of coffee is produced by small producers. The vast majority of the production in Ethiopia is organic.

Sweet fragrance with light spicy vibrant aromas, delicate acidity and complex body, elegant and smooth with cherries aftertaste.
