Delicious produces a wonderful chocolate flavor in lattes

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.

Having tried lots of other coffees, I've settled on Harari. For a year or more, I haven't bought anything else. I haven't liked other coffees
nearly as well, so I've decided in my old age to stick with Harari coffee as long as it is available. Life is simpler that way (and also very good).
CBC's service is excellent.
An Uber drive from Ethiopia was surprised when I told him that Harari coffee is available in the U.S., and wanted to contact Coffee Bean Corral as soon as I told him about it. I hope he and other Ethiopians in the U.S. don't stampede and buy up all the Harari coffee at CBC (hence my remark above "as long as it is available.")
I prefer a dark roast with this coffee. Rich and chocolaty.

I was pan roasting this and while it was good, it wasn't THAT good. I built a drum roaster and my first success was with the Queen City Harrar. NOW I get it! I drank some fifteen minutes ago, and the "finish" still hasn't finished! Lovely dark chocolaty aftertaste that faded into cinnamon just lingers and lingers.
If you nail the sweet spot with this, it is incredible. I turned off the burner two minutes into 1C and let it coast through the end of the crack, then quickly cooled it down. Ran a small shot through the Aeropress right away and was blown away.

Oh how I long for the blueberry bombs of the past Harar Horse varietal. Was hoping with this issue but alas, it's just a very good Ethiopian. Granted coffee is an agricultural crop that varies often from year to year, so I will re-order this in the future, but it is only in my top ten picks. Make sure to let rest after roasting. Much needed improvement after three days.

This is one of our favorite coffees! At a dark roast this has a beautiful chocolate finish that is absolutely delicious! Roasted at a lighter roast the fruitiness comes through with a mild bitterness. Our favorite roast is definitely darker roast with these beans.

The coffee beans were perfect and they roasted nicely, and evenly. It's no joke that there is a slight blueberry taste on the backend. Very very delicious. I plan to make another purchase very soon of this coffee as it has become my favorite. Not too strong, and definitely not weak. It is just right when roasted between City+ and Full City....but definitely not into the 2nd crack.
Anyway. I loved the coffee and it will become my staple coffee to serve when I have guests over.
