Oromo Harar
Coffee Review
Before stepping into reviewing this coffee, it would be appropriate to give some basic background information about it.
Oromo is a company fully owned by Oromo people, an ethnic group mainly from Ethopia (however can also be found in such places as Kenya and Somalia). Composed of around a dozen tribal groups, these peoples prefer just the term "Oromo" when speaking of themselves. The Oromo coffee company sources Fair-trade certified coffee of a high quality, directly from smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. It is due to the
fair-trade accreditation that one should straight away pay respect to this company.
Now, the coffee. The Oromo Harar is a Strength 4 coffee meaning that it is quite a powerful coffee, only 1 below the strongest coffee possible to be bought. The Harar is a classic 'natural'
Fairtrade coffee, meaning that there is no extra funky aspects to it, its just a straight coffee for those that are not looking for something unique. However, this coffee is far from boring, which you will find as soon as you start to brew this coffee, it really has a brilliant coffee smelling aroma that will leave your mouth watering. The best way to describe the taste of this coffee is it has that classic taste that coffee should have, however leaves you with a slight chocolaty finish that can be a real delight. It can be argued that if your looking for a classic Ethopian coffee, and with the fair-trade accreditation ofcourse, then this
Oromo Harar really is one of the best to go for. It is due to that reason that I will rate this coffee, from 1-10, a 9. The reason this coffee has such a high rating is because it is not trying to be something that it is not, and therefore it fails in no respect. The only reason this coffee has not hit the 10 is because I dont think this coffee could be an all rounder, with the chocolatey finish, it may be a very little sweet for those experts that are looking for the perfect classic coffee.
Highly Recommended - The Oromo Harar Coffee
