Pure Arabica from a plantation in Ethiopia, Sidamo Berekha Estate,  selected by the collector Kemal Ab dell . Arabica coffee originated in Ethiopia. This coffee is produced at an altitude of 1800 to 2000 meters and harvested exclusively by hand. It is also called “garden coffee” because it is the fruit of the work of small producers who deliver their harvest (an amount equivalent to what can be produced in a garden) to the “washing stations.” Here the coffee is processed (exclusively using the “wet” method) and then sent, still in parchment, to the government-controlled market, where exporters select and buy the coffee they need. It is still cultivated using traditional methods, which give the product its naturally organic coffee character.

Enjoyed on its own, it is a delight for the palate, thanks to its complex and extremely pronounced aromas. When properly extracted as espresso, this coffee is characterized by a strong aroma of flowers and citrus, with notes of honey.
