The variety.

01 / Ethiope

Ethiope comes from Ethiopia's wild Coffea arabica gene pool, planted at La Papaya as part of Juan Peña's Genetic Bank. It expresses a dual identity: Ethiopian heritage in its jasmine, lemongrass, and floral-tea aromatics, with Ecuadorian structure giving density, clarity, and a clean, lingering finish.

The process.

The whole cherry is dried 20 to 30 days to 10 to 11% moisture, with manual turning 3 to 4 times a day. Fruit sugars and esters are slowly absorbed by the seed, giving a fruit-forward cup with complex sweetness and enhanced body.

The grower, on this coffee
Ethiope comes straight from Ethiopia’s wild Arabica pool, planted here in our Genetic Bank. It carries Ethiopian heritage in the jasmine and lemongrass, with Ecuadorian structure underneath. Roasters want it because there is nothing else quite like it in the country.
