Ethiopia Harrar: Wild Heirloom (Ancient GERA Estate)
The Intoxicating Heirloom: Ethiopia Harrar (GERA Estate Single Origin)
The Experience: There is no better way to start your morning than with the legendary "Wild Child" of the coffee world. Our Ethiopian Harrar is a sensory journey, bursting with sweet berry notes and a bold, lively aroma that fills the room before the first sip is even taken.
The Profile: Cultivated in the southern highlands at altitudes up to 6,300 feet, these natural Arabica beans weave together a complex tapestry of blackberry, cinnamon, and apricot, finished with a subtly smoky undertone. The heavy body and rich notes of dark chocolate and red wine make it equally perfect as an indulgent after-dinner treat.
The GERA Estate Difference: Beyond the cup, your purchase supports a legacy of sustainability. Growing at 1880–2180m, the GERA Estate uses no chemical fertilizers or insecticides, opting for nitrogen-producing shade plants to enrich the soil naturally.
Social Impact: We are proud to partner with a producer that prioritizes its community—providing free housing, clean water, healthcare, and education for the children of the estate’s employees. This isn't just world-class coffee; it’s coffee that does good.
