Nestled in the lush Gedeo Zone of southern Ethiopia, the village of Haru is home to the Harusuke Washing Station, a beacon of quality and sustainability since its establishment in 2017 by Abreham Mengiste. With the nourishing waters of the Goto River, 2820 smallholder farmers cultivate heirloom Ethiopian landrace varieties (74110, 74112, and 74165) in their backyard gardens. Naturally organic, the coffee thrives harmoniously with the environment, benefiting from organic fertilisers and natural pest control.

What makes this Yirgacheffe coffee exceptional is its small bean size—proof that great things truly come in small packages! Grown at 1970 metres above sea level, this coffee boasts elevated acidity and an intricate fruit profile, offering notes of green grape, citrus, and dried apricot, all balanced by a delightful brown sugar sweetness.

The meticulous processing begins with hand-picking only the ripest cherries, which are depulped within 8-12 hours. Fermentation follows for 48 to 72 hours in tanks before a thorough washing removes the mucilage. After an initial drying stage, the coffee is transferred to African drying beds for 8-10 days, where it is carefully hand-rotated to ensure even drying under the watchful eyes of quality supervisors. Once the coffee reaches an optimal moisture level, it is cleaned, hulled, polished, and sorted to meet the highest export standards.

This remarkable coffee has deep roots in Ethiopian coffee culture and has been recognised for its quality, with similar local coffees earning the 2018 African Fine Coffees Association Taste of Harvest award. Sourced through Primrose Coffee, a vertically integrated exporter and proud member of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance Ethiopian Chapter, this coffee embodies a legacy of craftsmanship, community, and pride.

What Is Special About Specialty Estate Coffee?

As the name suggests, Yahava’s Specialty Estate Coffee is a limited release of new coffees we have recently discovered. Yahava source these micro-lot coffees in small quantities and only when available. We scour the entirety of the world's coffee-belt for these gems.

Can I Get Another Batch Of Specialty Estate Coffee?

Depending on availability, you may be able to get another bag of a Specialty Estate Coffee before the end of the month, but you will need to be quick. Because they are 'monthly' limited-edition coffee beans, we suggest ordering as soon as you’ve taken a liking to the roast.

Will You Be Selling These Coffee Beans Again Or Are They Only A One-Time Thing?

At Yahava, we welcome your feedback, and if we hear of a coffee that is popular, we will try to secure more. This is not always possible because of the size of the harvests and our ability to secure more. The very nature of a micro-lot Speciality Estate Coffee makes it special and very difficult to obtain.
