Dimtu Haro #1 is another excellent lot of natural processed coffee from Robe Gelgelo's Notissa farm. Unlike other farms that try multiple processing methods, Notissa only grows coffee for naturals and has specially trained its pickers to select and grade beans for natural processing. Cherries are spread out to dry on raised beds for up to 20 days to achieve the proper moisture content. Each lot is sorted after the initial drying phase to remove any cherries that are showing defects, and then the cherries are turned and moved to different beds on a rigorous schedule to facilitate even drying throughout the rest of the process. It's laborious work, but the end product speaks for itself: natural coffees with big flavor and incredible consistency.
Dimtu Haro #1 presents some really stand-out fruit notes that we don't often see in naturals outside of Ethiopia: a well-rounded apple taste is sweet and tart, amplified by the presence of that berry-like sweetness Ethiopian coffee fans crave. Dimtu Haro #1 also has a smooth, mellow pear note that surprised us in a natural, but works really well to even out the flavor profile and prevent this cup from getting too wild. These Ethiopian Heirloom beans make a great 'daily driver' coffee that you can brew again and again without tiring. You might just want to order a second bag... but don't just take our word for it. Brew away!

To fruity
Not a bad coffee, of course it depends upon your preference. This one was a little to fruity for me and my wife, as we both like a rich "potent" coffee. Not as good a kick as some others.

Delicious!!!
From the moment I started brewing I knew this was going to be a delicious brew. It is an exceptional coffee and for those drinkers that love berry notes and Ethiopian coffees, this one's for you.

Fruity Aroma
This made for a nice fruity cup of coffee. Something different from the same cup and a nice aroma. A little too fruity as an espresso for me.

So. Good.
My favorite Ethiopian so far. Somehow just as delicate a fruity as they all are, but powerful as well. Want to order more but is all gone and now I had a sad 😢

Tea like taste
Not my favorite naturally processed bean. You taste too much of the cherry resulting in a smooth but rather off tasting coffee. Not for everyone and not as good as la inpendencia naturally processed beans.

nice to get some flavors again
a nice cup of coffee with fun flavors. won't be for everyone, but if your a fan of ethopian coffees or ones with some fruit characteristics, give it a try. great aroma out of the grinder and a taste that lingers after the brew is finished. looking forward to the next cup.

Great Fruit Flavors
This was a great light roast with fruit forward profile. It was a great change up and I really enjoyed this blend.

If Fruity Pebbles were coffee...
Seriously, so good! This is the first time I've ordered another bag because of how good it is. I love the smell and I do grind it a bit finer than normal but it packs a flavor punch like no other. Very unique and extremely yummy!

Love it
African coffees are my favorite and this is definitely no exception. Lively notes and it ages very well in the cup.

Awesome
Tons of fruit with a little touch of wild and funky in the finish. All while being super smooth... This is coffee at its finest!

Best coffee yet!
I have had a bi-weekly subscription to Moustache Coffee Club for at least a year. I have enjoyed all of the coffees, but this was the first one that motivated me enough to log into the website to see if I could have a subscription to deliver Dimtu Haro exclusively. I am disappointed to see it is sold out. :-( This coffee has the perfect amount of fruit flavor to make it interesting but not overpowering.

Hi Jeannie - glad you enjoyed it and keep your eyes peeled! We have a few more bags headed to the roastery, we'll be bringing it back online here soon for a final encore run.

A great Ethiopian
Anytime I have had an Ethiopian coffee I have loved it, and this doesn't disappoint. It has all of the wonderful berry notes without bitterness. It also smells wonderful when you're grinding it.

Love
I don't generally like fruity Ethiopians but this one is amazing. Pop of flavor then lingers on the palate with a smooth finish.

Best Iced
This coffee was fantastic over ice. I wasn’t too impressed with it hot but I let the leftovers cool down, poured it over ice, added a drop of heavy cream, and wow! A whole new profile!
