Farm Description 

Uraga is grown in the highlands of Tabe Haro Wato, southern Ethiopia, by Kiba Coffee, a producer committed to preserving the region’s rich coffee heritage. Situated at 2,150–2,200 MASL, the farm benefits from cool temperatures, volcanic soils, and slow cherry maturation, which together create ideal conditions for complex and vibrant coffees. Kiba Coffee works with heirloom varieties 74110 and 74112, nurturing them with careful cultivation and innovative processing techniques that highlight the natural characteristics of the terroir.
