Ardi Natural Process - Sidama, Ethiopia

from $24.00

ARDI™ has stayed consistent and tasty for 16 straight harvests. Expect ripe strawberry and peach notes, floral hints, and a steady cocoa sweetness. Clean and consistent in cup—every batch feels like the same friendly handshake from farm to roaster.

420 smallholder farmers in the Guji Highlands tend 1.5-hectare plots, growing coffee under native shade trees with other crops. Natural processing is a family tradition: only fully ripe cherries are picked over multiple passes, floated and sorted, then dried on raised African beds.

What makes ARDI™ special is the careful 15–18 day drying. Cherries are turned every two hours in the sun and covered during the hottest part of the day to avoid over-drying. That routine, done for 16 years, gives roasters the same balanced fruit and reliable sweetness each harvest.

Tasting notes: strawberry, peach, cacao.
