Grades in Ethiopia

Process – Natural 

Ethiopia Coffee Grade 4 is naturally processed using the traditional dry method rooted in the coffee cultures of Ethiopia and Yemen. Ripe coffee cherries are sun-dried on raised beds for 8–10 days, carefully raked and turned to ensure even drying until they reach an optimal moisture level of 12% or less. Once dried, the fruit is removed to reveal the green coffee bean.

This time-honored process enhances vibrant fruity flavors while preserving centuries-old craftsmanship. Well suited to water-scarce regions, the natural process requires minimal resources, resulting in a sustainably produced Ethiopian coffee that delivers depth, character, and an authentic sense of origin.
