A classic Ethiopian natural profile offering rich, ripe fruit notes reminiscent of blueberries.

Gara Agena sits on a steep hillside at approximately 2,250 MASL, with the Geta River wrapping around the site. This location was not chosen by accident: it offers ideal elevation, growing conditions and access to clean water. The site is overseen by Mr Faysel A. Yonis, the owner of Testi Coffee. Faysel has been trading coffee since he was a schoolboy. He recalls buying small quantities—ten or twenty kilograms—from farmers before reselling them to suppliers. His experience and care are evidenced by the quality of this microlot.
