THE TERROIR & CRAFT

High-Elevation Microclimate:

• Altitude: 1,900–2,280m fosters slow sugar development, intensifying fruit notes

• Climate: 20–25°C temperatures + 1,800–2,000mm rainfall create lush, biodiverse ecosystems 

Artisan Processing by Bernabas Berhanu:

• Cherries sun-dried 18–21 days on African raised beds, meticulously raked by day.

• Midday sun protection (12–3 PM) + nighttime covering preserves delicate fruit esters 

• Traceability: Sourced from smallholders in Gedeb’s Halo Hartume kebele, a Yirgacheffe subregion famed for floral/fruit-driven coffees
