About Ethiopia Aricha Adorsi
The privately-owned Adorsi farm produces exceptional washed, natural and special preparation coffee in the kebele (local village) Aricha region of Yirgacheffe. This coffee is specially characterised by its anaerobic fermentation - a process that is gaining popularity in the region, though its rarity is due to the heavy export taxes, discouraging producers from experimenting with their lots.
Grown at 1.950 MASL in the Gedeo Zone, named after the indigenous Gedeo culture, located in southwest Ethiopia. With ideal climate conditions, Gedeo average temperatures between 15-18 degrees celsius with healthy annual rainfalls, which benefits the iron-rich and acidic soils, Gedeo is an optimal terroir for coffee-growing. So much so, coffee is regularly grown as a part of a family’s ‘coffee garden’ alongside their food crops in environments ultimately free of fertilizers and pesticides.
With a high quality terroir on its side, the anaerobic (meaning, “oxygen deprived”) process is regarded as ‘tricky’ and ‘time-consuming’, but with a worthwhile result. After harvest, the intact coffee cherries are placed in large barrels with water and sealed without oxygen for fermentation for 48-72 hours. Post-fermentation, mucilage and pulp are removed and the beans are left to dry naturally in the sun.
Anaerobic Natural Processing achieves a completely different flavour profile besides natural or honey-processing, extracting exciting and exotic flavours like tropical fruit and spices, and we are capturing this unique flavour profile, and experimental production, by lightly roasting at our LOT61 roastery in Amsterdam.

How this works
Simply select how often you want to receive coffee and we’ll ship it to you based on your choice. It's really that easy. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime.
Shipping & Delivery
If you order before noon we will dispatch your package the same business day. Located in the Netherlands? You should receive your order within 24-48 hours. Rural and international deliveries typically take a little longer and should be with you in 2-5 days.
December: As the holiday season approaches and we all begin to send treats to our loved ones, the couriers get a little run off their feet. The inevitable delays have begun, so to ensure your presents make it under the tree, be sure to order before Friday 20th December.
Shipping Rates
Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout. We offer complimentary shipping for orders of €30 and above within the Netherlands. We normally ship via PostNL and often UPS, depending on your location.

Tunes from Ethiopia
Before we turn on the coffee roaster in the morning, there's one thing we just can't go without.. music. We curated several playlists for you to enjoy while sipping. Some are perfect to relax and wind down, others can get a bit loud and noisy from time to time. Some have even been put together by the farmers we collaborate with. Keep on rocking in the free world!
