ETHIOPIA ARICHA #1042

Ethiopia is famously the "birthplace of coffee", where coffee plants grow wild throughout the lush, green highlands. Aricha Mill, where this coffee was processed, is located just a few kilometers away from Yirgacheffe-- the most famous and beloved name in Ethiopian coffee. Washed coffees from this region are classics of the coffee world: at their best, they’re sweet and clean, with a bright profile of fruits and florals and a tea-like delicacy. Notes of bright blueberry (and sometimes, strawberry or cranberry) are especially unique, simply not found in beans from any other place. A Coffee like this offers a rare, wine-like glimpse into how Yirgacheffe’s terroir, its high rolling hills and iron-rich soils, produce such spectacularly elegant coffees.

With its notes of tart, juicy blueberry and bright, crisp citrus, this cup reminds us of blue skies, sunshine, and a fragrant, floral breeze. Just like the last weeks of summer, this sweet Ethiopian microlot won’t last for long-- let’s savor every last drop! Reserve your own bag of Caffe Ladro’s Ethiopia Aricha, and fill your morning cup with a freshly roasted blueberry-lemon scone. One sip, and you’ll be a-reachin’ for this one again and again...
