From the producer

Musa Abalulesa farms nearly 50 hectares, buys and processes neighboring farmers' cherry, and has exported under his own name since Ethiopia's 2016 regulatory change. He has reinvested in drying beds, shade cloth, warehouse capacity, and seed production.

From the roaster

Verve presents this as a delicate, elegant coffee with juicy apricot, floral orange blossom, and the tea-like character it associates with washed Ethiopian coffees.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Musa's transition from natural-only production to washed coffee, direct exporting under his own name, and repeated infrastructure investment give the release a traceable producer story beyond a generic Agaro label.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Producer attribution

Verve names Musa Abalulesa as the producer. Although Musa also processes cherry from neighboring farmers, Verve does not state that this exact lot includes their coffee.

Depulping

Musa shifted from natural-only production to washed coffee after acquiring a depulper.

Washed processing

Verve identifies the coffee as washed but does not publish the fermentation or drying timetable for this lot.

What was added?

No added flavoring or co-fermentation ingredient is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The product page does not identify inoculated cultures, fruit additions, or post-roast flavoring.

Why it matters

The washed preparation supports a clean, delicate expression of apricot, orange blossom, and tea-like structure.

What you might taste

Apricot, oolong tea, and orange blossom.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
