Description

raw green bean Green coffee is raw Roast prior to consumption

NEW SHIPMENT

Harrar is known as "the coffee of kings," grown in the original coffee country and dried naturally on the trees. This adds a wildness to the cup which is also spicy, fruity and flowery, quite complex. This coffee is versatile, with something good to offer across the entire roast spectrum. Some compare it to Mocca; I call it a work of art...with an attitude.

The aroma will get your attention first: hints of cherry, dark chocolate, and dried fruit (pairs VERY well with a nice granola!). The taste is what your nose has prepared you for, but overtly wild and earthy with excellent balance. The outstanding fruitiness is still there in great measure, but the lower-tones of chocolate and earth really compliment it more than any Harar in recent memory. Its brightness really shines while it's still hot but does ebb as the temperature cools, especially in darker roasts.

This coffee is very versatile.


Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!

I've always been a dark coffee lover, but I roasted this light and it has changed my mind about light coffees. This has an amazing flavor! Will buy again for sure!!!

This Ethiopian has a unique flavor profile...it is very chocolaty and has a robust flavor of blueberry. I love this coffee. I roast to a city plus about 1:30 into first crack and it comes out perfect every time!

Years ago when I was working in Saudi Arabia, this was a favored bean of the locals. Saw the listing on Coffee Bean Corral and purchased 5 lbs. I roast it to full city and mix it with Sumatra Mandheling decaf also at full city (the Ethiopian bean takes more heat) for a half caf brew . I use an espresso grind and run it threw my Bambino doing three pulls on a puck. It gets rave reviews!

It’s good, interesting notes like tea, but creamy and dried fruits, some honey and brown sugar, caramel and nothing of blueberry probably I’ll order more

Absolutely wonderful coffee when you get the roast dialed in. That is easier said than done if using a air roaster. The 1st batch is spread in the driveway because my go to program for Africans was WAY to hot and long. As said above, slowly go past 1st crack and stop around a 60 on the color track for perfection. Extremely smooth, sweet molasses with lots of fruity notes. Definitely on of my favorites now.

Just roasted the entire half pound bag through first crack. It is absolutely heavenly. Not as over-the-top fruity as the Yirgaffe, but complex, smooth, and full bodied. I will buy a much bigger bag of this next time.

My favorite coffee by far, too bad I bought 60 # of other coffees before I found Queen City Harrar.
