The 2025/2026 Ethiopian coffee crop cycle runs from October 2025 through September 2026. Regional harvest, processing, and release timing vary, so this page is updated as lots clear quality review. Ask for the current availability list and lot sheet before booking.
Guji continues to be Ethiopia's most dynamic specialty region. The Hambela Wamena and Uraga woredas are producing lots with outstanding floral complexity and stone-fruit sweetness. Washed lots show jasmine and peach, while naturals deliver blueberry-forward profiles. Early arrivals are cupping exceptionally well this season.
Yirgacheffe remains the benchmark for Ethiopian washed coffees. This season's Kochere and Gedeb lots are showing bright bergamot and lemon acidity with a silky body. Processing standards at washing stations continue to improve, resulting in cleaner cups and more consistent scoring across micro-lots.
Sidama's high-altitude kebeles — particularly Bensa and Nensebo — are delivering balanced, versatile coffees this season. Expect citric acidity, brown sugar sweetness, and clean finishes. These lots are ideal for roasters seeking approachable specialty coffees with broad appeal.
Harrar naturals are arriving earlier than usual this season thanks to favourable drying conditions. The trademark wild-berry and wine-like character is present, with improved consistency from cooperatives that have invested in raised-bed drying infrastructure. Limited availability — contact us early.
