HachiraN2: A 90+ Natural Process Ethiopian Coffee

If you’ve ever tasted a natural Ethiopian coffee and wondered how it gets such intense fruitiness—juicy, floral, almost syrupy—without tasting overly fermented, you’re not alone. The secret lies in altitude, varietal, and meticulous drying. One standout example is the 90+ HachiraN2, a coffee that delivers exactly that balance.

The HachiraN2 is a Level 12 Ethiopian natural processed coffee from the Achira region, grown at 1750–2000 meters above sea level. It’s made from Ethiopian heirloom varieties, dried in the sun, and delivers a complex cup with distinct floral aromas, juicy body, and notes of elderberry, blackberry, basil-like herbs, and even a hint of lactose sweetness.

What Is the HachiraN2 Coffee?

The HachiraN2 is a single-origin Ethiopian coffee produced under the 90+ specialty coffee program. It originates from the Achira region in Ethiopia, a lesser-known but high-potential area for quality coffee. The coffee is made from native Ethiopian landrace varieties, grown at elevations between 1750 and 2000 meters. It was processed using the natural (dry) method, and carries a Level 12 designation within the 90+ classification system, indicating its premium placement in their product lineup.

How Is HachiraN2 Processed and What Does That Mean?

HachiraN2 is a natural-processed coffee, meaning the coffee cherries were harvested at peak ripeness and then laid out to dry in the sun with the fruit still intact around the seeds. This traditional Ethiopian method typically enhances sweetness, body, and fruity or floral characteristics. The process requires careful attention to drying time, rotation, and weather—especially in regions like Achira, where elevation and climate play a crucial role in drying consistency. Natural processing is one reason this coffee tastes so juice-forward and aromatic.

Where Does HachiraN2 Come From Historically?

The HachiraN2 coffee traces its roots back to 90+’s early collaboration with Ethiopian producer S.A. Bagersh between 2006 and 2008, focusing on the Aricha region. Though this particular lot is from Achira, it shares lineage with those early experimental lots and carries the “Hachira” name. The coffee is known for its pronounced juiciness, strong floral tones, and signature notes of dark berries or herbal elements, traits that have followed the Hachira series since its inception.

What Does HachiraN2 Taste Like?

The HachiraN2 features a cup profile that’s both vibrant and layered. Expect dominant floral aromatics, a rich juice-like mouthfeel, and distinct fruit notes including elderberry and blackberry. There are also subtle herbal qualities reminiscent of basil or other Lamiaceae (mint family) plants, along with a mild note akin to lactose—adding a creamy or slightly sweet undertone. These attributes make it a favorite for pour-over, AeroPress, or even light espresso applications where its brightness can shine.

How Is HachiraN2 Packaged and Sold?

HachiraN2 is available in multiple formats to suit different buyers:

• 30KG in jute sacks (green beans)
• 5KG in cardboard boxes (green beans)

This variety allows roasters to purchase either in commercial quantities or smaller sample sizes for single-origin offerings.
