Background:

High in the hills of southern Ethiopia, the Tariku Coffee Farms sit between 1,900 and 2,150 meters above sea level—an altitude that plays a defining role in the cup. This is the heart of Sidama, where slow-growing, indigenous heirloom varieties develop remarkable clarity and character. The result is a coffee that feels both vibrant and composed: naturally sweet, gently winey, with soft spice and a bright, balanced acidity.

Harvest takes place from October through January, with cherries selectively handpicked at peak ripeness.

Whether processed as a clean, expressive washed lot or a fruit-forward natural, like this one, great care is taken at every stage. Fresh spring water, fertile red-brown soils, and a stable highland climate all contribute to a layered profile—think delicate florals, ripe fruit, and a smooth, rounded sweetness.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

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.
