Gelanabaya Wine. Cafe De Etiopía

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from the Gelana Abaya district in the Borena zone of Ethiopia's Oromia region, near Yirgacheffe, growing at altitudes around 1900 meters above sea level. It is a natural processed coffee with yeast-assisted controlled fermentation—a method borrowed from winemaking where cherries ferment in sealed stainless steel tanks with careful temperature control for 4-5 days before drying on African raised beds for 15-18 days. Made from indigenous heirloom varieties, this microlot offers tasting notes of orange liqueur, passion fruit, cherry, and strawberry.

Rabi works exclusively with 100% Arabica specialty coffee, hand roasting each batch and selecting from a wide range of origins that includes rare varietals like Geisha from Colombia and Wild Orchid Liberica from Vietnam. An in house academy trains professionals from the hospitality sector, with baristas traveling to Malaga specifically for the courses. The philosophy is direct: flavor, traceability, zero artifice.
