What Makes Harrar Coffee Unique?
- Ethiopian Harrar coffees – respected for its heavy body and spicy fragrance – are also among the world’s finest specialty coffees and include the long berry (comprised of the largest coffee beans), Short berry (including smaller coffee beans), and Mocha (Moka; Mocca), which consists of the prized pea berry coffee beans. The Harrar’s are bright in the cup with floral and fruity notes in the acidity along with the distinctive winey tones. The heady and pungent aroma often offers up hints of blackberries along with spice tones such as cardamom, cinnamon and compote adding to the lingering aftertaste.
