2026 Raro - Ethiopia

This is a continuation of our exploration of a new processing and separation protocol that we developed with our partners in Ethiopia this year. This lot was made with cherry from a site we used to work with years ago and has some of the highest-elevation coffee in Uraga. In the cup we find ripe stone fruit, very lively acidity, and rose hips.

The 2026 Raro from Sey Coffee represents a distinct expression of the Uraga region in Ethiopia. Coffees from this area are frequently celebrated for their complex, layered profiles, often characterized by a delicate balance between vibrant acidity and nuanced aromatics. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better identify the specific interplay of notes present in the cup.

In this particular lot, the roaster highlights a profile defined by ripe stone fruit and rose hips, underscored by a very lively acidity. While Ethiopian coffees are diverse, those from high-elevation zones like Uraga are often prized for their tea-like clarity and floral elegance. This selection offers a focused look at the regional characteristics that continue to define the reputation of Ethiopian specialty coffee, providing a bright and expressive experience for those who appreciate a clean, fruit-forward cup.
