Ethiopian Coffee
Ethiopian coffee production is profoundly influenced by the country’s three main seasons. The Bega season (October-January) is the long dry period, crucial for coffee harvesting and processing. The Belg season (February-May) brings the first rains, essential for coffee flowering and early fruit development.
The Krempt season (June-September) sees heavy rainstorms from the east. These storms are crucial for the later stages of coffee fruit development and ripening. By the end of September, the rains cease abruptly, allowing the coffee fruits to ripen, leading to a bustling harvest period by November.
