Halo Beriti, Washed - Ethiopia

Halo Beriti village in the Gedo zone benefits from very high altitudes, fertile soils, and a unique climate, characterised by mountain ranges and dry conditions. These factors contribute to its exceptional coffee quality, resulting in a cup that features bright, delightful floral notes and a truly enjoyable sweetness.

The genetic diversity of the flora, combined with the numerous natural mutations of coffee trees found throughout Africa, contributes to the unique flavour profiles. Additionally, the absence of chemical pesticides and the natural growth of wild trees, alongside minimal human intervention, allow the natural characteristics of the coffee to shine through in every cup.

This coffee is processed locally in the Beriti village. Hand-picked ripe cherries are soaked in concrete tanks to remove defective beans. Cherries are then pulped and washed, before being sun-dried on raised African beds. Throughout the peak sun hours, the coffee is carefully shaded and regularly rotated to ensure uniform drying. This entire process can take up to 12 days, contributing to the exceptional quality of the coffee produced.

In the cup expect delicate, tea-like florals and refined fruit sweetness. This coffee shines both as a filter and espresso.
