Introduction

HACHIRA coffee was created through the 90+ Aricha collaboration with S.A. Bagersh between 2006 and 2008. It was named HACHIRA for its wonderful juiciness and floral notes, along with quite rich elderflower and blackberry fruit, and sometimes parsley and herbal aromas.

Tasting Experience

Pour Over

Let's first try the pour over. Soft acidity brings out nutty flavors. After the tropical fruit aroma, there is a light cocoa finish. Very gentle and colorful.

AeroPress

Now let's try the AeroPress. Wow, the acidity becomes completely bright, as if arriving in a tropical fruit paradise. Rich nutty aroma and cocoa notes, followed by a spreading caramel sweetness. If the pour over is like an innocent young girl, the AeroPress adds graceful charm.

Personal Assessment

The following views are for reference only, and we respect other perspectives. Personally, I believe the difference between HACHIRA coffee and general Ethiopian natural beans is that HACHIRA is cleaner, more delicate, and has better overall flavor consistency.

In the 2013 WBC World Barista Championship, among the six finalists, contestants from Italy, South Korea, and Canada used Ninety Plus green beans. Exquisite green bean cultivation and processing, excellent varieties, and a unique grading system have made Ninety Plus a top-tier and distinctive green bean representative in the market.

90+ Coffee Bean Brand Recommendation

FrontStreet Coffee roasts another 90+ coffee bean, Zhumang, with strong guarantees on both brand and quality.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Hachira stands out for its natural-process florals and clean fruit, and FrontStreet Coffee's Ethiopian lineup covers that same territory beautifully. The FrontStreet Natural Red Cherry Yirgacheffe is a full red-cherry natural lot, bringing citrus acidity, berry juiciness, honey sweetness, and a creamy body. For a washed counterpoint with the same jasmine-and-lemon signature, the FrontStreet Washed Yirgacheffe is elegant and bright, while the FrontStreet Gotiti Cooperative coffee is fully washed and shows white florals, orange, and green tea. Like the Hachira in this article, each is a high-altitude Ethiopian bean worth brewing slowly to catch every layer.
