Ethiopia Harrar 4 Natural Nafisifie
Description
Our Ethiopian Harrar Nafisifie comes from the legendary Harari People’s Regional State region. This area is best known for the Harrar Horse coffee brand made famous by the Somali King, Mohamed Adullahi Ogsady. This East Harrar crop is sourced and exported by Nafisifie, an exporting company co-founded by Abdirashid Abdullahi. Abdirashid is a descendant of the Horse, being the nephew of Mohamed Adullahi Ogsady, and he has spent multiple decades bringing back a Harrar coffee with the luster the Horse brand used to carry.
The coffee cherries are sourced from family owned farms from indigenous heirloom cultivars and grown at 1,200 to 2,100 meters in vertisol (a clayey soil that occurs in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons). The cherries are processed in the full natural style and dried in a single layer on raised beds. Abdirashid has implemented protocols for meticulous hand sorting before and after the drying and milling stages, as well as raised bed drying for consistency during that stage. The goal is to reach near zero defects to bring out a quality coffee matching the Harrar Horse Brand.
After a drying period of 14-21 days depending on the weather, the fruit is hulled from the seed, and then sent to Addis Ababa where the coffee is milled and hand-sorted for export.
Lovely aroma with hints of earthy dark chocolate, plum, and baking spices. Full, creamy body. Rich and complex in the cup with notes of plum, fig, red wine, and dark chocolate. “Natural”/Dry Process.
Price range: $11.50 through $22.95
