- Information - Transparency - **Papaya & Red Fruits Harvest: January 2026** **Country: Ethiopia Producer: Abera Mengesa Region: Gedeb Process: Natural Variety: Mixed Heirloom Altitude: 2,100 masl** All Natural is our year-round seasonal coffee, celebrating coffees processed using the traditional natural method. Sourced from regions where natural processing is a long-established tradition or a practical choice due to limited water and infrastructure, these coffees are known for their bold, fruit-forward and often fermented flavour profiles. This coffee comes from Abera Mengesa, who farms eight hectares of land in the village of Halo Bariti, Ethiopia. This is our first year buying coffee from Abera who, unlike many Ethiopian coffee farmers who sell their harvest as whole cherries, processes all his coffee on the farm. We’re looking forward to travelling to Ethiopia later this year to meet Abera in person. We’re particularly excited to learn more about his farming practices and processing techniques, and we’re hoping this will be the first of many coffees we buy from this producer. In the cup, expect a wonderfully fruity and complex coffee, with a clean finish and distinct notes of papaya and red fruits. - **Price we paid: USD $7.02 /lb** **FOB: USD $4.90 /lb****Farmgate price: 1,529 Birr / 1kg Parchment** **Weight purchased: 1,020 kg** **Purchase history: 1 years** **Importer: Omwani** **Cup Score: 87.25**
