Aga Espresso comes from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, grown between 2000 and 2200 meters above sea level and processed at the Habtamu Fekadu Aga washing station, located on the border between Chelbesa and Worka.

Habtamu works with 220 small-scale producers, crafting organic washed coffees with extended fermentations of up to 60 hours, followed by meticulous drying on raised African beds. This approach highlights clarity, floral character, and balanced acidity.

Since 2023, Coffee Collective has begun to separate smaller microlots and make additional direct payments, ensuring record income for producers in the area and reinforcing its model of transparency and direct trade.

In the cup, Aga Espresso is light yet structured, with a refreshing and elegant acidity. Bright notes of bergamot, juicy peach, and fresh grapefruit stand out, accompanied by a clean and defined floral character.

A refined, vibrant, and perfectly balanced Ethiopian espresso.
