About this coffee: 

Nestled in Ethiopia’s celebrated Yirgacheffe region, Halo Beriti Washing Station has been a hub of smallholder excellence since 2014. Serving over 750 local farmers, the station receives ripe coffee cherries grown on tiny garden plots, often intercropped with other food crops and cultivated without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. 

Here, tradition meets precision. Farmers deliver handpicked cherries to the station, where they’re carefully sorted, weighed, and either paid for on the spot or given a receipt. Coffees are then expertly processed, washed or natural, and dried on raised beds to preserve their vibrant character. 

Ethiopia holds a legendary place in coffee history, not just as the birthplace of Arabica, but as a culture where coffee is woven into daily life. Unlike many producing countries, coffee here wasn’t introduced through colonisation; it grew wild in forests, was adopted into households, and eventually traded. That deep-rooted relationship with coffee shines through in every cup; floral, complex, and unmistakably Ethiopian.
