This is a separation of only the highest elevation cherry from around Harmufo. We have been interested in this area for some time, and our exporting partner, SNAP, graciously helped make this lot possible. In the cup we find lemon candy, ripe stone fruit, and honeydew.

ABOUT HARMUFO
We have been curious about isolating a lot from the high elevations around Harmufo, Gedeb for several years. Traditionally, coffees from this area have been blended into larger regional lots—likely ending up in selections like Halo Hartume. For some time, we have been in conversation with SNAP about separating the highest-elevation deliveries into their own lot, and this year they accepted the challenge. We are glad to finally share this separation.
ABOUT ETHIOPIAN LANDRACE
Ethiopia is widely acknowledged as where coffee originated, and its production continues to represent a significant part of the country’s economy. DNA testing has confirmed over 60 distinct varieties growing in Ethiopia, making it home to the most coffee biodiversity of any region in the world. Given the tradition of coffee production in Ethiopia and the political interworkings of the Ethiopian coffee trade, it is virtually impossible to get single variety coffee lots from Ethiopia. This is changing, albeit very slowly. Most Ethiopian coffees are blends of the many Ethiopian varieties, and referred to simply as 'Ethiopian Landrace'.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
