Halo Natural, Ethiopia

Orange blossom, mango, strawberry yogurt 

Roasters' Notes:

When roasting this natural Ethiopian, we apply a gentler approach than we would typically use for a washed Ethiopian. The softer density of the naturally processed coffee means we avoid driving the roast too aggressively, allowing the coffee to develop evenly. We aim to preserve its delicate fruit character and floral aromatics while building enough development for maximum sweetness. A measured approach throughout the roast helps retain the coffee’s expressive fruit qualities while keeping the cup clean and complex.

Roast style: Progressive 

Halo Natural comes from Halo Barite in Gedeb, within Ethiopia’s Gedeo Zone, an area also known as Yirgacheffe. The coffee is produced by around 700 smallholder farmers at 2000 - 2100m ASL and naturally processed at the Halo washing station.

The station works with SNAP Coffee, whose approach focuses on consistent specialty processing, farmer training and waste recycling. SNAP also supports local communities through initiatives including providing technology to schools and improving road access in remote farming areas.

This certified organic coffee combines heirloom varieties, high-altitude cultivation and natural processing to produce its expressive fruit character.
