Harbegona comes to us under the careful oversight of Helleanna Georgalis and is an exquisite representation of this region. Our goal in Ethiopia is to begin developing relationships with individual producers, which will allow for much better physical and financial transparency. We could not be more excited for our first trip to Ethiopia this coming winter! ABOUT ETHIOPIAN LANDRACEEthiopia is widely acknowledged as where coffee originated, and its production continues to represent about 10% of the country’s gross domestic product. DNA testing has confirmed over 60 distinct varieties growing in Ethiopia, making it home to the most coffee biodiversity of any region in the world. Given the tradition of coffee production in Ethiopia and the political interworkings of the Ethiopian coffee trade, it is virtually impossible to get single variety coffee lots from Ethiopia. This is changing, albeit very slowly. Most Ethiopian coffees are blends of the many Ethiopian varieties, and referred to simply as 'Ethiopian Landrace'. Contains 250g of delicious coffee.
