Equator Coffees "Ethiopia Ardi Natural" Light Roasted Whole Bean Coffee - 12 Ounce Bag

Reviewed by Coffee Review in September 2021, our Ethiopia Sidama Ardi scored an incredible 95 point review! Read the review here. We are pleased to bring back a long time single origin favorite: Ethiopia Ardi, a fruit-forward coffee that is grown in Southern Ethiopia’s Guji Zone. We’ve had the privilege of visiting the farmers who produce Ardi and see first-hand the high quality, oversight, and care that goes into this natural sun-dried coffee. The inspiration behind this coffee’s name comes from the discovery of Ardipithecus Ramidus, the oldest hominid skeleton ever found. The fossil, dubbed Ardi, is 4.4 million years old and was unearthed in Ethiopia’s Great Rift Valley, which is where the Guji Zone lies and this coffee is grown. Sweet, fruity natural processed Ethiopian coffees such as this often change people’s perception of what coffee can taste like; similarly Ardipithecus Ramidus has changed the perception of human evolution, as it is believed the species could be a link between modern humans and our distant ancestors.
