Coffee cherries are picked from trees and brought to washing stations where they are hand-sorted. They pass through a disc pulper intentionally leaving mucilage on the parchment, fermenting in water for 2 days. After fermenting, the coffee is rinsed for 2 hours in clean water, then spread under the sun to dry for 12-15 days. Once dried, they undergo manual sorting for 3-4 hours, then rest in warehouses for 1 month to stabilize moisture levels before being hulled and bagged for export.
Ethiopian coffees have seen rising prices due to frequent changes in agricultural regulations by the Ministry of Agriculture, reflecting increased demand.
Sherif Başaran says, “Among the Ethiopian coffees I’ve recently tasted, Aricha Honey stands out as one of the most fruity and sweet. Even before finishing cupping, we secured and purchased 8 bags of this coffee from Nordic Approach via email. It gives a plentiful sensation of forest fruits, pink bubblegum, and a pineapple fruit salad. I prefer this coffee as a filter. It has a clean taste, showcasing its acidity well in the V60. While the acidity is slightly subdued in Chemex and Aeropress, other excellent attributes like sweetness and body shine through. It offers a wonderful coffee experience.
“For espresso, avoid adjusting your machine settings; 9 bars, 93 degrees Celsius, at ratios of 1:2 or 1:2.5 will yield excellent results. This coffee is roasted to 80-85 Agtron for espresso (immediately after the first crack ends).”
