Ethiopia Refisa
Ethiopia is widely considered to be the birthplace of coffee, and is home to thousands of native varieties of arabica. Many of these heirloom varieties, the majority of which have yet to be genetically identified, can still be found growing in the wild, but have now been cultivated for farming. The varietals found in this delicious lot of coffee have been grown by 742 smallholder farmers, and processed at the Refisa washing station in Ethiopia's West Arsi zone. There, the hand-picked cherries are pulped and fermented in water for up to 60 hours before being dried on one of 200 raised beds for up to 10 days, until the beans reach their optimal moisture content. On first sip, we're getting notes of jasmine, which, dance across our palate, combining with blackcurrant sweetness to offset a subtle zing of gooseberry. The result is a naunced, mouthwatering and beautifully balanced coffee which represents Ethiopia with pride.

Roaster's Notes Ethiopia Refisa
Ethiopia has done it again! This sweet, fruity, floral lot typifies what Ethiopian coffee is all about. Perfect to drink black or even over ice in the summer weather, this is an absolute cracker and one of my favourite coffees of the year so far.
About Ethiopia
Where it all began, Ethiopia is where coffee was first consumed by humans, albeit as a fruit rather than a beverage.

From wild coffee, harvested in the verdant forest, to garden coffee, grown around the homesteads of smallholder farmers, to vast estates of meticulously but intensively farmed trees, Ethiopia offers a stunningly diverse crop.

Typically harvested between October and February, Ethiopian coffees are often brilliantly fruity and floral, with notes of bergamot, and elegant complexity.
