Ethiopia TOH #1 Buku Hambella Bella Lulo Natural

This is Rias Coffee’s brightest star of 2025 — the Taste of Harvest (TOH) Ethiopia #1 Winner.

Sourced from the renowned Buku village in the Hambella region of southern Ethiopia, processed at the highly respected Bella Lulo station. Hambella is celebrated for its high altitude, volcanic soil, and ideal microclimate.

Processed with the Natural (dry-processed) method, this lot beautifully showcases the vibrant fruit character Ethiopia is famous for. On the cupping table, it shines with bright notes of peach, oriental melon, and orange, layered with delicate white floral aromas, honey sweetness, and a refreshing tea-like finish. The acidity is lively and clean, with excellent clarity and a long, elegant aftertaste.

Roasting InformationRias uses a Light Roast profile. Charge temperature 180°C, total roast time approximately 9 minutes 30 seconds, finished just before first crack. The light roast preserves the delicate fruit, floral, and bright acidity of this TOH #1 lot, resulting in a clean, vibrant, and lively cup.
