While Ethiopia is famous as coffee’s birthplace, today it remains a
speciality coffee industry darling for its incredible variety of flavours.
While full traceability has been difficult recently, new
regulations have made direct purchasing possible. Most producers in Ethiopia are smallholders, and most continue cultivating coffee using traditional methods. As a result, most coffee is grown with no chemical fertilizer or pesticide use. Coffee is almost entirely cultivated, harvested and dried using manual systems.

West Arsi may have recently risen to international acclaim as a superb coffee-producing region, but it’s been producing coffee as far back as anyone can remember. Previously, coffees produced in West Arsi were sold as Sidamo or Harrar. West Arsi was recently designated a unique coffee-growing origin by the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange. Since then, it’s gained fame through international quality competitions, including the Ethiopian Cup of Excellence where, in 2020, coffees from West Arsi placed in 4 of the top 10 spots.
