Furthest From Heaven is grown at Haru Wachu, in the Tebe Haro Wachu area of the Uraga district, deep in Ethiopia's Guji zone. Producer Bisrat Melaku tends heirloom varieties between 1,800 and 2,150 MASL, where altitude and slow cherry maturation concentrate sweetness and aromatics.
The lot is fully washed. Cherry is pulped, fermented, and washed before drying, a route that strips the cup back to its cleanest, most articulate self. Uraga ranks among the most elevated coffee land in Guji, and the cup answers in kind, apricot and guava lifted by a thread of jasmine.
Ethiopian heirloom denotes the thousands of indigenous landrace varieties that grow, often wild or semi-wild, across the country's forests and gardens. This genetic depth is the source of Ethiopia's signature floral and citrus complexity.
In the washed process, cherry is pulped and the remaining mucilage fermented and rinsed away before drying. Stripping the fruit early lets the bean's intrinsic acidity and clarity speak, the cleanest expression of a varietal and its origin.
