Grown in the lush highlands of the Guji Zone in Ethiopia’s Oromia Region, the Shakiso area is renowned for producing exceptional coffees. At high elevations, in rich volcanic soils and cooled by mountain air, the beans develop remarkable clarity, depth, and vibrancy. This unique terroir gives rise to coffees that are expressive, lively, and beautifully complex.
This lot is composed of traditional Ethiopian heirloom varieties—wild, indigenous cultivars shaped by generations of natural diversity. Celebrated for their floral intensity and layered fruit character, these beans bring elegance, brightness, and refinement to every cup.
Processed using the natural (dry) method, the whole cherries are slowly sun-dried, allowing their sugars to fully infuse into the beans. This careful process enhances sweetness, body, and aromatic richness, resulting in a profile that is both bold and balanced.
In the cup, Hoqata Reserve Natural opens with notes of salted caramel, lime zest, grapefruit, black tea, and chocolate, layered with brown sugar sweetness, nectarine brightness, and prune-like depth, alongside delicate florals and ripe berry nuances. The acidity is bright and citrus-driven yet smooth and harmonious. A silky, syrupy mouthfeel coats the palate, while the sweetness deepens as the coffee cools, revealing honey-like richness and subtle cocoa nib undertones. The finish is long, clean, and gently lingering, leaving traces of sweet citrus, and a gentle black tea dryness that fades with elegance.
