This coffee is sourced from smallholders in Riripa village in West Arsi, Oromia. Farmers cultivate coffee at 1,900 to 2,200 meters above sea level. They deliver their coffee to a local washing station owned and operated by SNAP Trading.
Many would say that the strength of Oromia coffees lie in the regions’ diversity of profiles. The many microclimates and varying soil types lead to striking differences from town to town. But across all Oromia coffees is a profound complexity that many attribute to the diversity of local landrace varieties. Varieties can differ from town to town and even farm to farm where each farmer may have more than one unique varieties seldom or never found outside their plot. When all these different varieties are blended at the local cooperative, the resulting blend expresses the complexity of the plant genetics in the area.

This Ethiopian coffee is truly exceptional. From the moment I opened the bag, the aroma was heavenly—rich, fragrant, and inviting. The scent alone transports you to another world, with deep, earthy notes and a hint of sweetness. Once brewed, the taste is nothing short of amazing. It’s smooth, well-balanced, and full of vibrant flavors, with subtle fruity undertones that give it a bright, refreshing finish. Whether you prefer it black or with a splash of milk, this coffee elevates your morning routine and is a must-try for any coffee lover.
