The Birthplace of Arabica
Ethiopia is not just a coffee origin — it is the origin. Home to thousands of indigenous Heirloom varieties, the highlands of Ethiopia produce flavors that cannot be replicated anywhere else on Earth.
Ethiopian Arabica was founded to share these exceptional coffees with the world. We secure consistent, Grade One specialty Arabica through our direct-to-cherry model — full end-to-end quality control beginning with fresh coffee cherries from Ethiopia's finest high-altitude regions.
Our Direct-to-Cherry Model
What sets Ethiopian Arabica apart is our commitment to controlling quality from the very beginning. We purchase fresh cherries immediately after harvest, ensuring 100% red cherry selection from farms above 1,700 meters.
This approach eliminates the risks of third-party processing. Our facilities handle drying, fermentation, and sorting with complete oversight, maintaining the highest specialty standards throughout.
