Ethiopia Harar is one of the great and distinctive experiences of the coffee world. The arabica tree originated across the Red Sea in western Ethiopia, on high plateaus where country people still harvest the wild berries. Harar is a dry-processed coffee, the simple, rustic method where the ripe red coffee cherry is picked from the tree and put out in the sun to dry, fruit and all. Often, the fruit is allowed to dry directly on the tree. It turns raisin-brown, then dries so the hard shell of fruit skin, mucilage and parchment shell can be torn from the green seed in one step.

The result is wild, fruity, complexly sweet, with a slightly fermented aftertaste. You will taste blueberry jam, cocoa, and maybe even a touch of cinnamon and cardamom in these amazing coffees. Ethiopia dry-processed Harar posesses wild cup flavors and brilliantly acidy with rough, fruity or winy tones.

A journey of the taste buds	December 6, 2008
Reviewer: Chuck�Swinford from Sierra Vista,�AZ�United States

First brew of this coffee was everything Seth's review said it would be. It is deep, and yet sweet, and comes at you in so many vivid directions that your taste buds can't keep up. Just a whiif of the bag fills your nose with deep, complex earthy tones unlike any coffee I've ever had. The finished cup is just diverse. It would be easy to have a cup, or a pot and proclaim that this is an amazing brew. But, don't stop there. Buy a couple pounds and brew it regualrly. Every fresh cup will bring you flavors you hadn't noticed previously. I'm thorugh my first pound and still haven't figured it all out. An amazing and truly rare coffee experience.
