The Story Behind This Coffee
This coffee originates in the high-altitude region of Uraga in Guji, at the Coba processing station led by producer Habtamu Fekadu Aga — a long-term partner of our roastery.
Coba takes its name from the ensät leaf, a plant used daily in local communities. Around 116 smallholder farmers bring their handpicked, perfectly ripe cherries of varieties 74110, 74112, and local heirlooms to this station.
Habtamu is known not only for exceptional quality standards but also for his strong social commitment. Farmers receive premiums above market price, share profits from sales, and pickers are provided with food and accommodation during harvest. Each cup of this coffee carries not only the flavour of Ethiopia but also the care and dedication of the people who produce it.
Cultivation & Harvest
The high altitudes of Uraga (2100–2300 m) provide ideal conditions for slow cherry development. Traditional farming, organic methods, and natural shade create a unique microclimate that gives this coffee its clarity and complexity.
Cherries are hand-picked exclusively at full ripeness. They then undergo a natural process, drying on raised African beds, where they are turned regularly to achieve stable sweetness and a vibrant, fruity profile.
Thanks to the meticulous work of local farmers and the region’s exceptional terroir, Ethiopia Coba offers a cup that is expressive, fruity, and beautifully balanced.
Exceptional Coffee with an Exceptional Score
A cupping score is a standard tool for evaluating the flavor quality of coffee.
To be classified as specialty coffee, a score above 80 points is required.
By contrast, commodity-grade coffees (often found in supermarkets) score below 80 and are designed for mass production, where yield and cost outweigh quality.
Cupping scores help you quickly gauge the real flavor potential and artisanal value of a coffee.
Best Brewing Methods
This coffee shines most beautifully in filter brewing, where its clean, juicy, and complex flavour profile fully unfolds. The natural process highlights notes of honey, strawberry, pineapple, and fresh citrus, elegantly paired with gentle floral aromatics.
French press and dripper methods also work wonderfully, emphasizing its lively acidity, sweetness, and aromatic layers.
Prefer espresso?
Ethiopia Coba offers a light, juicy, and refreshing espresso experience, typical of high-altitude Ethiopian coffees — perfect for those who enjoy bright and fruity cups.
