Harald (Harar) is 1600 meters above sea level, and the Harald Heights in eastern Ethiopia is one of the highest elevation areas for human coffee cultivation (some even claim to be as high as 2000 Murray 2,700 meters). Across the Gulf of Aden, overlooking the two ports of Moka and Aden in Yemen. For centuries, Harald coffee farmers, using camels, donkeys or horse-drawn carriages, risked being besieged by hyenas to the downhill port of Djibouti, and then shipped them to the Yemeni port of Moka for European countries.

The most famous Ethiopian coffee is Harald coffee. Harald is located in eastern Ethiopia. Harald is an ancient city with a long history and one of the four holy cities of Islam. The Harald region has the best altitude for Arabica coffee and is the highest coffee producer in Ethiopia.

Essel coffee has two processing methods: traditional sun-drying and water-washing. The flavor of coffee processed by different raw bean processing methods is very different. Generally speaking, the appearance and purity of coffee treated by water-washing are better, but the thickness of alcohol and game are slightly lower. Sun-processed coffee, on the other hand, looks ugly, but because of the reduced water treatment process, the coffee is more comprehensive in flavor and wilder in taste.

Harald's history is much older than Yejasuffe, and its soil and water, climate, treatment and flavor are also different from those of Yejasuffe. Harald is a dry and cool climate, the most suitable for sun treatment, the flavor is similar to the Yemeni mocha across the bay, so Harald is also known as Harald mocha. Most of Harald's beans are long-bodied beans, which are obviously different from Yega's short round beans. It completely adopts the method of sun treatment, that is, watching the sky to eat, if the sun-drying period of continuous rain, resulting in moisture return to mildew, there will be moldy smell.

And unlike the washing method, the sun method needs to go through many manual and machine screening procedures, which all depends on the eyesight of the employees to pick out the unripe beans, and it should be done when there is a shortage of hands, and the imprecise production process is the main reason for the decline in Harald's quality.

On the other hand, Lahore coffee beans have unique red wine fermentation aroma and refreshing berry feeling, wild and sexy local aroma, comfortable acidity, slightly bitter taste, weak black chocolate, good grease and smoothness, strong mellow thickness, good presence in the mouth, moderate sweetness, slightly poor purity, but because the rich flavor retained by the sun treatment is quite changeable, the aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Although the variability of sun beans is much higher than that of water-washed beans, it is fortunate to buy high-quality Harald sun beans, no matter how expensive it is: strong sun fruit aroma, citrus sweet blueberry sour, mango, clove, cinnamon, and even slightly leather and slightly earthy aromas. The mellow degree of Harald is better than that of washed Yega Chet. It has a moderate sour taste and a slightly chocolate finish. Although the overall flavor is not as clean as Yega Chet, it is not messy. This is the so-called Harald flavor, which is suitable for both deep and shallow cultivation.
