About This Coffee
Habtamu Fekadu Aga runs a washing station on the Chelbesa-Worka border in Yirgacheffe, working with around 220 smallholder farmers to produce certified organic washed coffees. Cherries are fermented for roughly 60 hours and then carefully sun-dried, a slow and meticulous approach that protects the cup's clarity and delicate aromatics.
Yirgacheffe sits at the heart of Ethiopia's most celebrated coffee country, and the high elevation here, between 2000 and 2200 metres, slows cherry maturation to concentrate the floral and citrus character this region is famous for. In recent years the station has separated smaller lots and made additional second payments to growers, helping lift farmer earnings in the area to record highs.
We roast Aga light in Kuala Lumpur to honour all of that work, keeping the bergamot, peach and grapefruit notes bright and intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ethiopia Aga better as filter or espresso?
It shines as filter. The light roast, refreshing acidity and floral, citrus notes are built for pour-over and other manual brewers. You can pull it as espresso for a bright, fruit-forward shot, but filter is where it sings.
What does it taste like?
Light and elegant, with bergamot, peach and grapefruit. Expect crisp citrus acidity, juicy stone fruit and a clean, floral finish rather than anything dark, heavy or chocolatey.
How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date. This washed Ethiopian is at its best around 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so there is no rush to brew it the day it lands.
Is it really organic?
Yes. Aga is a certified organic washed coffee, produced by Habtamu Fekadu Aga and the farmers around his washing station in Yirgacheffe.
Do you offer free shipping?
