Frequently Asked Questions About Ethiopian Coffee

What does Ethiopian coffee taste like?

Ethiopian coffee is known for bright, fruit-forward flavors including blueberry, strawberry, peach, and citrus notes, along with floral aromatics like jasmine and bergamot. The flavor profile varies by region—Sidama offers balanced berry sweetness, Yirgacheffe brings delicate floral notes, Guji features tropical fruit, and Harrar delivers wild berry with earthy depth.

What are the main Ethiopian coffee regions?

The primary Ethiopian coffee-growing regions include Sidama (balanced, berry-forward), Yirgacheffe (floral, tea-like), Guji (fruit-forward, wine-like), and Harrar (wild berry, earthy). Each region's unique terroir, elevation, and processing methods create distinct flavor profiles.

Is Ethiopian coffee high in acidity?

Traditional Ethiopian coffee has bright acidity, which contributes to its lively, vibrant flavor. However, our gentle roasting process reduces acidity levels while preserving the characteristic brightness and complexity, making it suitable for those with sensitive stomachs or acid reflux.

What is Ethiopian Peaberry coffee?

Peaberry is a natural mutation where a single, rounded bean develops inside the coffee cherry instead of the typical two flat-sided beans. This occurs in about 5% of cherries and results in more concentrated, intense flavor. Peaberries can come from any Ethiopian region.

What's the difference between washed and natural Ethiopian coffee?

Washed (wet-processed) Ethiopian coffees have clean, bright, floral characteristics with crisp acidity. Natural (dry-processed) Ethiopian coffees are fruit-forward with wine-like complexity, heavier body, and pronounced berry flavors. Both methods showcase different aspects of Ethiopian terroir.

How should I brew Ethiopian coffee?

Ethiopian coffee excels with pour-over methods (V60, Chemex) that highlight clean, bright characteristics. French press works well for fuller body, Aeropress offers versatility, and natural-process Ethiopians make exceptional cold brew. Use medium grind and 200°F water as a starting point.

Is Ethiopian coffee organic?

While not all Ethiopian coffees carry organic certification, many are grown using traditional, low-input farming methods. Our Ethiopian coffees are sourced from farms using sustainable practices and independently tested for purity, mold, and mycotoxins.

Can I drink Ethiopian coffee if I have acid reflux or GERD?

Yes! Our Ethiopian coffees are roasted using methods that reduce acidity while maintaining their signature flavor profile. Many customers with acid reflux, GERD, and sensitive stomachs enjoy our Ethiopian selections without digestive discomfort. We recommend starting with washed-process Ethiopian coffees for the gentlest stomach experience.
