This coffee has a complex flavor, winey or fruit-like in flavor, heavy body, fair to light acidity, with hints of wildness or earthiness. The Longberry Harrar Horse, produced by the M.A.O. family, has established itself as a staple among specialty coffees, as an espresso component, and as a stand-alone, varietals coffee.  Rich, syrupy, floral, blueberry,  and dark chocolate.

The highlands of Harrar are remote, so remote, that most of the coffee is carried by donkeys down to collectors below in the valley as trucks could not go to the farmers.  The way of processing the coffee is an ancient method going back to the beginning of coffee consumption. Women crush the cherry in deep wooden pots by hand and the coffee is naturally sun dried on the ground.  The coffee trees are two hundred years old and some reach up to a height of 6 meters (20 feet).

Harrar is known as “the coffee of Kings”, grown in the original coffee country and dried naturally on the trees. This adds a wildness to the cup which is also spicy, fruity and flowery, quite complex. This coffee is versatile, with something good to offer across the entire roast spectrum.
