Ethiopia: Longberry, Harrar

Harrar is known as one of the main coffee-growing regions in Ethiopia’s Eastern Highlands, and it produces a very distinctive wild-varietal Arabica. As the name implies, this coffee brings the sought-after flavors of blueberry, and it’s naturally processed in order to bring out the most complimenting flavor possible. There’s a unique and subtle “peppering” that occurs during processing––the color of the beans disperses. The Longberry’s name refers to the Ethiopian grading term used to describe the largest beans, so there isn’t any abnormality in the actual length.

Its namesake, the walled city of Harrar has a population of 200,000, and is part of a key trade route. Harrar is not only the eastern-most growing region in the whole country, but it’s also a remarkable coffee with a deeper, less fruity taste than our Misty Valley bean.

Cupping Notes:Smooth, full body with a winey, sweet, and bright acidity and fruity notes of blueberry.
