Flavour
Heirloom coffee varieties are celebrated for their complex and unique flavour profiles, often with bright acidity, floral notes, and vibrant fruitiness, including hints of berries and citrus. These coffees are highly aromatic and exhibit intricate layers, making them a favourite among specialty coffee enthusiasts.
Terrior
Ethiopian heirloom varieties thrive in the nutrient-rich, volcanic soils found in the country's high-altitude forests. This fertile environment, combined with Ethiopia's unique climate and mountainous topography, creates ideal conditions for slow maturation, which enhances the development of complex flavours and aromas.
