Ethiopia is widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee, home to some of the most complex and aromatic beans in the world. With its diverse landscapes, heirloom coffee varieties, and centuries-old traditions, Ethiopian coffee is beloved for its bright acidity, floral aroma, and vibrant fruit notes. At Spectra Coffee, we bring you the finest Ethiopian coffee, sourced ethically and roasted to perfection, so you can experience its unparalleled flavors in every cup.

Coffee-Growing Regions & Processing Methods

Ethiopia’s coffee is grown at high altitudes (1,500 – 2,200 meters above sea level), allowing for slow bean maturation and enhanced flavor development. The most famous coffee-growing regions include:

✔ Yirgacheffe – Renowned for floral, tea-like coffees with citrus and jasmine notes.
✔ Sidamo – Produces well-balanced, fruity, and wine-like coffees with bright acidity.
✔ Guji – Known for bold, berry-forward flavors with hints of chocolate and spice.
✔ Harrar – Offers wild, full-bodied coffees with rich blueberry and cocoa notes.

Ethiopian coffee is traditionally processed using two methods:

• Natural (Dry-Processed): Beans are sun-dried with the fruit intact, resulting in intense fruit flavors and a syrupy body.
• Washed (Wet-Processed): Produces a clean, bright cup with delicate floral and citrus notes.

Flavor Profiles & Brewing Suggestions

Ethiopian coffee is celebrated for its complex and lively flavor profile:

✔ Flavor Notes: Blueberry, jasmine, bergamot, citrus, honey, and chocolate
✔ Body: Light to medium-bodied with a silky texture

✔ Finish: Clean, floral, and lingering

Best Brewing Methods:
