West Arsi

West Arsi is a high-altitude coffee-growing region in Ethiopia where farms typically sit between 1,900 and 2,064 meters above sea level. Smallholder farmers in the area often utilize traditional garden-style cultivation methods, frequently intercropping coffee with other food crops like enset. The region has gained international recognition for its quality, having been designated as a unique origin by the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange. Farming practices remain largely organic-by-default, with most work performed manually by families without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
