The Farmer Details

The Halo Beriti washing station sits just outside Gedeb town in Ethiopia’s southern Gedeo Zone, a few kilometers south of Yirga Cheffe. Coffee delivered here comes from smallholder farmers in Halo Beriti and nearby villages, most cultivating well under one hectare of land at elevations ranging from 1900 to 2200 meters. The region’s cold climate slows cherry maturation, producing smaller, exceptionally dense seeds.

This lot is a dry process coffee, where whole cherries are dried intact for nearly four weeks due to the low temperatures. The extended drying creates a deeply fruit-forward profile with layered sweetness and balanced bittersweet notes. This specific Halo Beriti lot was sourced through a grower long known for outstanding coffees in Ethiopia’s western regions, who this year delivered equally exceptional offerings from the South.

Roast Levels & Flavor Profiles

Light-Medium Roast — Juicy mango and ripe orange notes shine atop a sweet, syrupy body, balanced with subtle hints of dark honey and molasses. Bright lemon acidity provides lift, keeping the cup clean and lively.

Medium Roast — Caramelized sugars, semi-sweet chocolate, and spiced fruit reduction notes dominate, layered with well-defined citrus and honeyed sweetness for a balanced, complex finish.
