Ethiopia · Coffee-growing region

Arbegona

Arbegona is a woreda located within the Sidama zone of Ethiopia, recognized for its exceptionally high coffee-growing elevations that often range between 1,900 and 2,450 meters above sea level. The region features a favorable micro-climate where cooler temperatures cause coffee cherries to ripen more slowly than in lower- areas. This extended maturation period contributes to the development of dense, compact seeds and complex, vibrant cup profiles. Coffee serves as the primary cash crop for the local smallholder farmers who cultivate these high-quality lots.
