Coffee Details

About This Coffee

The Halo Beriti washing station sits in Ethiopia's renowned Gedeo Zone, part of the wider Yirgacheffe growing area long celebrated for its floral, tea-like coffees. Since 2014 it has served as a hub for more than 750 local farmers, each tending tiny garden plots often intercropped with food crops and grown without fertilisers or pesticides.

Here tradition meets precision. Farmers deliver handpicked, ripe cherries to the station, where they are sorted, weighed, and processed with care. For this lot the cherries are fully washed and dried slowly on raised beds, a method that preserves the clean, vibrant character Ethiopian coffees are known for.

Ethiopia holds a legendary place in coffee history as the birthplace of arabica. Coffee here was never introduced through colonisation; it grew wild in the forests, was adopted into daily household ritual, and only later traded. That deep-rooted relationship shows up in the cup — floral, complex, and unmistakably Ethiopian.

How to Brew Ethiopia Halo Beriti

This coffee shines as a filter but holds up beautifully as a bright, fruit-forward espresso. Start with the recipes below.

If your cup tastes thin or sour, grind a little finer; if it turns bitter or dry, grind coarser and pull back slightly on brew time.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

A 250g bag brews roughly 16 filter cups at 15g per cup, and the 1kg bag stretches to around 65 cups — plenty of mornings to explore how this Ethiopian single origin opens up across its peak freshness window. Pulled as espresso at 20g per dose, a 250g bag yields about 12 shots.
