Once considered part of the renowned Sidama growing region, West Arsi is now recognised as a distinct coffee-producing zone in southern Ethiopia. It shares many of the same characteristics with its neighbours — high altitudes, nutrient-rich volcanic soil, and traditional smallholder farming — all contributing to its increasingly sought-after coffees.

This particular lot was processed by Negusse Debra in Rafisa kebele, within the Nensebo woreda — an area celebrated for producing coffees with floral aromatics, vibrant acidity, and delicate fruit complexity.

A true reflection of terroir, care, and tradition — this coffee is a standout representation of West Arsi’s unique flavour profile.
