Why coffee beans from Ethiopia taste different
Ethiopia is the birthplace of wild Arabica coffee. The Kaffa region – whose name may well be the origin of the word ‘coffee’ – produces beans with a natural complexity that stems from the combination of an altitude of over 1,800 metres, rich volcanic soil and a stable microclimate. These conditions cannot be replicated, and that is precisely what you taste in the Baraka.
The medium roast is a deliberate choice: a darker roast would largely mask the characteristic fruity and floral notes. This ensures that the flavour profile remains intact, just as it was developed during the growing process.
Who is the Ethiopia Baraka suitable for?
For anyone trying a single-origin coffee for the first time after years of drinking blends, the Baraka offers an accessible introduction. The fruitiness is unmistakable but never harsh. For the coffee drinker who already knows what they’re looking for, the combination of body and subtlety offers enough to savour with every cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is single-origin coffee?
‘Single origin’ means that all the beans in this pack come from a single specific origin – in this case, Ethiopia, the Kaffa region. No beans from other countries are blended in, so the flavour profile reflects solely the character of that one growing region.
What’s the best way to brew the Ethiopia Baraka?
Brewing methods such as the V60 or Chemex bring out the fruity and floral notes best. The Baraka also works well as an espresso, although the flavour profile is then more concentrated. For best results, grind the beans fresh, just before brewing.
Is this a light or dark roast?
The Ethiopia Baraka is medium-roasted. This is the roast level that preserves fruity and floral notes without the more bitter characteristics of a dark roast. A light roast would make the body too thin; a dark roast would take away the fruitiness.
How should I store these coffee beans?
Store the beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place – not in the fridge, as fluctuations in temperature when the jar is opened can cause moisture to be drawn in. For best flavour, use the beans within four weeks of opening.
