Ethiopia Harrar
The Longberry Harrar coffees
are the most widely available of gourmet Ethiopian coffees. They are grown on
small peasant plots and farms in the Eastern part of the country near the old
capital of Harrar, at about 5,000 to 6,000 feet. |

Ethiopia Yirgecheffe
The most celebrated Ethiopian
coffee is called Yirgacheffe. It is rich, teasing, and mysterious on the
palate, with a very long, resonant finish. Its acidity vibrates inside the
richness of the body, but Yirgacheffe adds a soft, fragrant, flowery note so
distinctive that it may make this the most unique among the world's
coffees. |

Tanzania Peaberry
Tanzanian coffee shares the
characteristically sharp, winey acidity typical of African coffees. Coffee
cherries usually develop and comprise two separate beans but about 5 to 10
percent of coffee beans only develop as one lobe which we call
"Peaberry". Many coffee drinkers believe that peaberries are more
concentrated than normal coffee beans because of their small size (and the idea
being that you get two flat bean's flavor into one lobe). Tanzania Peaberry has
a medium to full body and is fairly rich in flavor. |
