Verve Coffee Roasters

Ethiopia Habtamu Fikadu

This washed lot originates from smallholder producers in the highlands surrounding the Habtamu Fikadu washing station in Jimma, Ethiopia, farming between 2,100 and 2,300 meters. The extended washed process—featuring multiple submerged fermentations (48–72 hours primary, 12 hours secondary) and careful raised-bed drying over 10–12 days—builds clarity and structure while preserving the delicate character typical of high-elevation western Ethiopian coffees. Cool temperatures and steady rainfall at altitude support slow cherry maturation, which translates to refined acidity and layered sweetness in the cup. The result is a rounded, structured coffee that balances delicacy with clarity.
