Ethiopian Harrar

Wholesale Ethiopian Harrar Coffee - Natural Process Bulk Beans

Tasting Notes: Blueberry and blackberry aromatics with deep chocolate body and subtle wood undertones. Medium body, low acidity, wine-like complexity from traditional natural processing.

Natural Processing Creates Distinctive Wholesale Value

Ethiopian Harrar undergoes traditional natural (dry) processing—coffee cherries dry intact on raised beds for weeks, allowing fruit sugars to penetrate the bean. This centuries-old method, used since coffee's discovery in these highlands, creates the bold fruit-forward character that differentiates your menu. For wholesale cafe buyers, this means a conversation-starting single-origin that appeals to customers exploring beyond washed coffees. The low acidity profile attracts customers who typically avoid bright African coffees but want origin diversity on your menu.

Sourcing Bulk Coffee from Ethiopia's Birthplace

We source these wholesale coffee beans from small garden plots in Ethiopia's eastern highlands, where heirloom varietals—the genetic ancestors of most Arabica worldwide—grow under forest canopy at high elevations. These aren't estate coffees; they're traditional garden coffees from smallholder farmers using cultivation methods passed down through generations. Our export partners pre-screen lots to ensure the fruit character you want without excessive defects. When you buy bulk Ethiopian Harrar, you're connecting your customers to coffee's 1,000-year heritage.

Roasted Fresh for Your Wholesale Order

We roast Ethiopian Harrar to order based on your specifications. Natural-process coffees require careful roast development—underdeveloped and you get grassy notes, overdeveloped and you lose the fruit. We dial in each lot individually before roasting your bulk order. Most wholesale accounts order City to Full City roast to preserve the blueberry character while developing chocolate sweetness. We roast Monday-Friday and ship most bulk coffee orders within one business day of roasting.

Best Applications for Cafe Programs

Position this as a featured single-origin rather than your everyday offering—the bold fruit profile makes it perfect for customers exploring natural-process coffees. The low acidity works well for customers who find Kenyan or Yirgacheffe too bright. Exceptional in cold brew programs where the berry notes intensify. Consider it for seasonal rotations or as a limited-time offering that creates urgency. The origin story (birthplace of coffee, traditional processing) gives your staff compelling talking points.
