According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word “heirloom” is defined as “a valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations”. Similarly, in the coffee sector, the term is broadly used to refer to old cultivars of the Coffea arabica plant which have existed for some time.
However, in Ethiopia in particular, the word “heirloom” is often used to refer to varieties that are native to the country, many of which are still found in the wild today. It is estimated that there are between 10,000 and 15,000 heirloom varieties in Ethiopia today, the majority of which have not been formally genetically identified.
Generally, Ethiopian heirlooms tend to have a floral and fruity cup profile, but the specific characteristics do vary heavily from region to region.
