Award-winning Shakisso Estate
Shakisso Estate produces one of Ethiopia’s most distinctive coffees, grown in a natural forest environment beneath a canopy of shade trees rather than in traditional plantation rows. This wild, semi-foraged approach gives the beans a unique character and depth.
The coffee is an heirloom varietal, showing influences of both Typica and Geisha, with bean dimensions that highlight its individuality. It is is known for its distinct flavour characteristics, often described as having notes of guava, tropical fruits, and a juicy, creamy texture.
Processed naturally (dry method), it can be chaff-heavy during roasting, but with lighter roasts and adequate rest time, the result is a cup bursting with tropical fruit complexity. Despite rising prices, it remains outstanding value for one of the world’s most remarkable coffees.
Horton’s Blend is our signature creation, crafted from a careful selection of Ethiopia’s finest coffee beans. Designed to deliver balance, richness, and versatility, this blend is perfect for both espresso and milk-based coffees. Roasted in small batches by Horton’s Artisan Coffee, available in 250g, 500g, and 1kg packs, and shipped fresh across Australia.
QUALITY FIRSTEthiopian Coffee is widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee. The country’s diverse growing regions, high altitudes, rich volcanic soils, and traditional processing methods produce some of the most distinctive and complex coffees in the world.
Ethiopian coffees are almost always Arabica, with thousands of indigenous heirloom varietals (many still uncatalogued). These heirloom genetics contribute to the extraordinary range of flavours and aromas. |
