From the highlands of Guji at 2,000 meters above sea level, Hambela Estate brings a natural-processed expression that is fruit-forward, modern, and remarkably smooth. Produced by METAD PLC, a respected group driving quality and innovation within Ethiopian coffee, this release offers a balanced take on the natural profile.
Expect soft stone fruit sweetness up front, a tea-like lift through the middle, and a delicate floral finish that lingers just long enough. As an espresso, it shines on its own, layered, nuanced, and sweet, but it also plays well with milk, adding a gentle fruit tone without overwhelming your ritual.
Hambela Estate is a standout for drinkers who appreciate complexity packaged in a silky, modern espresso experience, proof that natural process can be both bold and beautifully composed.

Q: How should I store my coffee?
Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct light, heat, moisture, and strong odors. Grind only what you plan to brew.
