Epic heritage and epic landscapes. A world-famous producing region. The birthplace of coffee, and still the country we love to visit the most.

Smallholders who have a few hundred trees, coming together at local wet mills to deliver perfectly-ripe cherries. Late-night processing operations in the crisp night air at almost 2,000 metres above sea level. As the sun rises, rows upon rows of drying tables, filled with cherries at various stages of the natural processed method.

Awash River is a curated coffee sourced from smallholder farmers in the Guji and Sidamo regions of southern Ethiopia.

The River Awash carves through almost 750 miles of Ethiopia’s great rift valley, providing a vital water source for millions. Archaeologists believe humans have lived along the river since the dawn of man. Known as “the cradle of humankind”, the middle Awash is home to some of the most important archaeological discoveries in history, including perhaps the most famous hominid fossil ever found: “Lucy”.

This is a fruit concoction in a coffee cup. Masses of blueberry, strawberry and raspberry up front. Bright acidity gives way to creamy milk chocolate, with rich blossom honey sweetness to finish. It’s a sensory assault in an espresso, flaunts itself in a flat white, and brings a beautiful balance in pour-over and filter methods. It’ll have your tastebuds dancing in no time.
