Ethiopian Landrace - Washed

Arbegona is where this roaster returns to understand what makes Ethiopia singular. This final, fully washed release from the first year partnering with the Elora site closes the season with a focus on clarity and lift, and it previews a partnership the roaster intends to deepen.

Processing leads the story: fully washed coffees from high-elevation southern Ethiopia often show precise acidity and delicate aromatics. Variety here is “Ethiopian landrace”—a field blend reflecting the country’s unmatched biodiversity, where traceable single-cultivar lots remain rare. The aim wasn’t single-variety definition, but a faithful snapshot of place.

In the cup, it could taste like lemon zest and white florals up front, easing into peach or yellow plum with a sweet, tea-like finish. As it cools, you might notice honeyed sweetness balancing the brightness and a clean, herbal lift—think lemongrass—lingering at the edges. For pairing, keep it simple: jammy pastry, buttered toast, or a plain scone to let that clarity shine.
