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 AND BOOST THE COUNTRY’S COFFEE INDUSTRY.

THEY 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 ENVIRONMENTS. 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.

74158 IS A JARC VARIETY WHOSE FLAVOR POTENTIAL WE HAVE GROWN FAMILIAR WITH IN OUR YEARS OF WORKING WITH DAYE BENSA. THE FIRST HAMASHO VILLAGE NATURAL WE TASTED AND SUBSEQUENTLY OFFERED SURPRISED US WITH NOTES RESEMBLING THE PANAMA GEISHA’S — INTENSE FLORAL AROMATICS WITH FRESH TROPICAL AND STONE FRUIT QUALITIES.
