About this coffee + Harrar is one of the world's oldest and most historically significant coffee origins. Located in the eastern highlands of Ethiopia's Oromia region, east of Addis Ababa, the Harrar growing area sits at 1,600 to 2,120 metres above sea level across the rugged terrain of the Bale and Arsi mountains. Coffee has been grown here for centuries โ Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee, and Harrar is one of its oldest cultivated expressions. The heirloom Arabica varieties growing in this region have never been formally classified or commercially bred. They grow wild and semi-wild, naturally mutating across generations to produce the complex, distinctive genetic diversity that defines the Harrar cup character. Unlike the southern Ethiopian origins of Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Guji โ which are celebrated for florals and bright acidity โ Harrar is known for its heavy body, winey depth, and bold fruit character. The natural process, which sun-dries the whole cherry before milling, concentrates these qualities further. Wild blueberry, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a wine-like finish are the defining notes of a well-processed Harrar natural, and this 2025/26 fresh harvest lot delivers all of them with exceptional body and density. Grade 3 is a mid-tier Ethiopian export grade allowing a moderate defect count, priced accessibly for home roasters and commercial buyers who want Harrar's distinctive character without the premium of Grade 1 or Grade 2 lots. The density of 1,050 g/L is strong for a Grade 3 natural an
