The Aricha Espresso, roasted by Bows & Arrows Coffee, highlights the distinct profile of the Yirgacheffe region in Ethiopia. This lot is composed of heirloom varietals grown at an elevation of 1900–2000 masl. By utilizing a washed processing method, the roaster emphasizes a clean cup profile, which in this instance presents tasting notes of persimmon, vanilla, and honey.

While washed coffees are often celebrated for their bright acidity and refined clarity, the specific sensory experience of any coffee can be mapped using a flavor wheel to better identify these nuanced characteristics. As a staple of the Ethiopian coffee landscape, the Yirgacheffe region remains a benchmark for quality, and this particular offering provides a focused look at how traditional processing and regional terroir influence the final cup. Whether enjoyed as a standalone espresso or a balanced brew, the Aricha reflects the careful selection and roasting standards maintained by the team at Bows & Arrows.
