Ethiopia Aricha Anaerobic Natural
Manta Ray Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This anaerobic natural processed coffee is from Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region, specifically from the Aricha washing station in the Edido kebele, about 8 kilometers from Yirgacheffe Town. Grown at 1850-1880 meters altitude in red-brown clay soils, the coffee features mixed heirloom varieties. The region is known for its warm tropical climate with moderate wet and dry seasons, where most coffee is shade-grown by small producers using organic practices. Flavor notes include floral, freeze dried raspberry, and stewed rhubarb, with the region famous for producing coffees with blueberry-like characteristics.
