Finca Etiopia Aurelia

Finca Etiopia is one of the flagship farms of Los Naranjos Café, created as a tribute to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. Located near the slopes of the Ilamatepec Volcano, the farm benefits from rich volcanic soils, high elevation and a climate well suited to slow coffee cherry development. Established in 2018, the 34.5-hectare farm was carefully revitalised with quality and conservation in mind. Only part of the land is cultivated, while the rest is preserved as natural forest to protect native flora and fauna. Coffee grows under the shade of native trees, supporting biodiversity while helping the cherries mature slowly and evenly. This Geisha honey lot reflects the farm’s focus on detail. Cherries are tested for sweetness before harvest, then carefully floated and sorted to remove underripe, overripe or lower-density fruit. The coffee is pulped while retaining its mucilage, allowing the honey process to create a layered sweetness and silky texture. The result is a rare and expressive cup: violets, blueberry, almond paste, honey and ruby grapefruit, with an Ethiopian-like floral brightness and a clean, elegant finish. Asteri note: A rare Salvadoran Geisha from Los Naranjos Café, grown under shade near Ilamatepec Volcano and honey processed for floral sweetness, citrus lift and refined complexity.
