Queen of Sheba, Group lot from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

Queen of Sheba is described to carry a Mild and Floral Profile, built on a Black Tea and Bergamot note at its base. Compared to its Naturals sibling Iron Lion with an expressively juicy and fruity flavour, this Washed lot is our effort to bring in a different, but exciting taste of Ethiopian coffee

Similar to its sibling lot Iron Lion, The Coffee Quest team created this “royal lot” as we want to reflect the image of Ethiopia within. An image of familiarity and the true coffee of the Ethiopian people

In Ethiopia, The Queen of Sheba is a significant figure. She was a legend known as the ruler of an ancient kingdom right where the areas of Ethiopia and Yemen are today. To the Ethiopians, the Queen of Sheba is the founder of their Ethiopian civilization, and the first ancestor of Ethiopia’s imperial kings, known as the “Solomonic Dynasty“.
