Ethiopia's Anfilo forest coffee grows in the rainforests of Wällägga, a mountainous region where coffee has thrived in its original form for centuries. The plants grow under natural conditions, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and benefit from a unique ecosystem that gives them a distinctive range of aromas.
Flavor profile
Through traditional sun-processing, this organic coffee develops an intense spiciness that harmonizes with delicate fruity notes and a pleasant sweetness. Its full body adds depth, while the natural sweetness balances the vibrant aromas. The combination of spicy, sweet, and fruity nuances makes it a special taste experience with a long finish.
Cultivation and processing
The coffee cherries are carefully harvested by hand and slowly dried in the sun. This method preserves the complex aromas and enhances the coffee's characteristic spiciness. Sustainable cultivation in mixed-crop systems protects biodiversity and maintains the natural balance of the forest. The region's small-scale farmers rely on traditional farming methods passed down through generations.
