FROM THE ROASTER

‘ETHIOPIAN HEIRLOOM’ IS THE GENERAL TERM COMMONLY USED TO IDENTIFY COFFEE ORIGINATING FROM ETHIOPIA. IT COVERS TWO CLASSIFICATIONS: JIMMA AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTER (JARC) VARIETIES AND REGIONAL LANDRACE VARIETIES. JARC VARIETIES WERE DEVELOPED AND RELEASED TO IMPROVE THE PRODUCTIVITY AND LIVELIHOOD OF SMALLHOLDER COFFEE FARMERS, TO BOOST THE COUNTRY’S COFFEE INDUSTRY.

THESE VARIETIES ARE PROMOTED AND BRED BECAUSE OF THEIR GOOD QUALITY (WHEN GROWN AT THE RECOMMENDED ELEVATIONS), RESISTANCE TO OR TOLERANCE OF ADVERSE ELEMENTS, AND ADAPTABILITY TO DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THERE ARE 40+ JARC VARIETIES COMPRISED MOSTLY OF PURE LINE SELECTIONS AND A HANDFUL OF HYBRIDS. REGIONAL LANDRACES, MEANWHILE, ARE VARIETIES THAT PROPAGATE IN THE WILD, WITHOUT REGULATED INTERVENTIONS.

SIDAMA BENSA-GROWN 74158, A JARC VARIETY GENERALLY OBSERVED TO EXPRESS GEISHA-ESQUE FLORAL, CITRUS, AND HONEYED NOTES, HAS CONSISTENTLY RANKED AMONG THE BEST AT THE ETHIOPIA CUP OF EXCELLENCE AND FETCHED THE HIGHEST PRICES AT THE AUCTION.
