Ethiopia, Aricha, Washed
Black Tea • Blueberry • Bergamot
Grown at 1,950 meters in the rugged mountain community of Aricha, Yirgacheffe, this
washed coffee comes from very small farms rooted in one of the world’s oldest
coffee-growing traditions. Harvest often overlaps with the rainy season, when warm,
humid conditions nurture the coffee plants while muddy roads make fieldwork more
difficult. The coffee is fermented for 48–72 hours in cement tanks, then dried slowly
under parabolic plastic covers for 12–15 days. The result is a bright, floral cup with
layered sweetness, lively citrus acidity, and a delicate tea-like finish.

Guilder's Price - $8.10
This is the final price we pay for this coffee. This includes any premiums we might pay to the producer to make sure they are receiving a sustainable margin.
