Tradition prevails in much of the harvesting and each region creates a distinctive taste from the bean. Ethiopian Harrar coffee beans are grown in the eastern part of the country and are dry-processed. The Ethiopian Harrar coffee bean has winy to fruit like acidity, rich aroma, and a heavy body with blueberry undertones.  Ethiopian Harrar coffee is often used in espresso blends to capture their fine aroma. Washed coffees (wet processed) of Ethiopia beans include Ghimbi and Yirgacheffe.  Ghimbi coffee beans are grown in the western parts of the country and are more balanced, heavier, and has a longer lasting body than the Harrars. The Ethiopian Ghimbi bean is more balanced and richer in taste then the Harrars bean, with a heavier body and longer finish.
