George Howell Coffee

Hamasho Borena, Ethiopia

Grown at 7,500–7,900 feet in Ethiopia's Bombe Mountains—among the world's highest coffee farms—Hamasho Borena benefits from cool mountain air and volcanic soils worked by 161 smallholder farmers. A 72-hour anaerobic fermentation amplifies the coffee's inherent character, revealing candied lemon, syrupy nectarine, and delicate jasmine florals with remarkable clarity. The elevation and fermentation process combine to create a coffee of unusual complexity and brightness.
