Grown in the breathtaking highlands of Uraga in Ethiopia's East Guji Zone, this Natural Organic coffee is cultivated at elevations between 2,100 and 2,200 meters above sea level, where cool temperatures and a natural semi-forest environment create ideal conditions for producing exceptional coffee. Produced through a partnership between Kuri Mountain Coffee and a network of dedicated out-grower farmers, this lot reflects a strong commitment to quality at every stage of production.
Composed of traditional Ethiopian heirloom varieties, the coffee was harvested between October and January, when ripe cherries were hand-selected at peak maturity. Only the best fruit moved forward to processing, ensuring a clean and expressive final cup. This lot was processed using the natural (dry) method, one of Ethiopia's oldest and most celebrated coffee traditions.
After harvest, the cherries were carefully sorted and dried on raised African beds for approximately three weeks. Throughout the drying period, skilled workers continuously monitored and sorted the coffee, removing under-ripe cherries to ensure consistency and quality. The slow drying process allowed the fruit sugars to enhance the coffee's sweetness and body while preserving its vibrant fruit character.
