How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ethiopia: 539 of 857 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Cafen describe this coffee as fruity, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Ethiopia, Rwanda

Region

Harrar, Oaxaca

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, process, variety, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Acidity, described

“Finca Chelín, Enrique Lopez has cultivated the varietal with a focus on preserving floral structure, bright acidity and transparent fruit character, while allowing the terroir of oaxaca to shape its own expression.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

…crisp pink lady apple sweetness leads into fresh raspberry brightness and a delicate line of lemon peel acidity through the finish… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

…the harrar varietal itself is exceptionally rare outside east Africa, with this lot believed to be one of the only known cultivations grown beyond Ethiopia and Rwanda. part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
