Africa Coffees

Coffee from Africa — where it all began

Arabica coffee comes from Ethiopia. Not "originally, sort of" — the actual tree, growing wild in the forests of the south-west, where our Sidama and Yirgacheffe beans are still picked today. They taste like nowhere else: bright, almost tea-like cups with berry and citrus flavours.

What does Ethiopian coffee taste like?

Lighter than South American coffee. Where a Brazilian bean gives you chocolate and nuts, Ethiopian coffee leans floral and fruity. Yirgacheffe is the delicate one. Sidama has more body but keeps the same lifted sweetness. Both are Fairtrade Organic.

How should I brew Ethiopian coffee?

Gently. Cafetière, pour-over or filter let the floral notes through. Espresso flattens them a bit — if that's your machine, pick the Sidama.

See where these grow on our Coffee Belt map. And if you're decaf-curious, the Swiss Water Process guide explains how we get the caffeine out without losing the flavour.
