This coffee is produced by smallholder farmers in the West Arsi zone of southern Ethiopia, a region known for high-altitude growing conditions and slow cherry maturation. Coffees here are typically cultivated on small plots and processed locally, with careful attention during drying.

Naturally processed, whole cherries are dried intact, allowing sugars from the fruit to influence the final cup profile. The result is a coffee with pronounced sweetness, red fruit character, and a rounded mouthfeel, balanced by fresh acidity.

This coffee is well suited to filter brewing and modern espresso, offering a structured yet expressive profile that highlights the growing region’s potential.

In the cup, West Arsi delivers bold notes of dark chocolate, balanced by prunes and ripe blackberries, creating a deep, satisfying flavor profile with natural sweetness. Its structure and intensity make it especially well-suited for espresso, producing a rich crema and a full-bodied experience.

Perfect for specialty coffee lovers in the UAE seeking authentic Ethiopian coffee with character, balance, and consistency.
