Ethiopia: Longberry, Harar

Harar’s Longberry lineage traces to caravan trade that once moved coffee east across the Ogaden to the Gulf—dry‑processed lots prized for cocoa‑spice depth and dried‑fruit tone. Grown on arid highland slopes and sun‑dried on raised beds in thin layers, ripe cherries develop concentrated sugars as cool nights slow dehydration. A balanced medium roast preserves the region’s hallmark character: milk chocolate and caramel at the core, date/raisin richness through the mid‑palate, and a gentle blueberry echo. Acidity reads lively yet orderly, the texture is silky and rounded, and the cup resolves in a cocoa‑spice finish—nostalgic, fragrant, and quietly complex.
