Description: Kaffa coffee originates from the historic highland forests of southwestern Ethiopia, an important natural homeland of Arabica coffee.
The region is known for its rich coffee biodiversity, forest and semi-forest coffee production systems, and longstanding coffee-growing traditions.
Kaffa coffees may offer complex flavor characteristics, including chocolate, forest fruits, herbal aromas, and natural sweetness. Naturally processed lots can develop rich fruity notes and fuller body, while washed coffees may exhibit cleaner acidity and more delicate flavor characteristics.
