Birbirsa arrived to our roastery via EL CAFÉ, a company established in 2000 by Vasileios G. Anastasopoulos that is solely concerned in the coffee producing countries with discovering new coffee varieties on special farms.
Since then they supplie most of the largest coffee producing companies in Greece, by remaining as a dedicated green coffee import and trading company.

At Birbirsa, the Natural/Sun Dried process begins with the careful selection of the ripest red cherries, handpicked from the lush coffee trees that dot the landscape. These cherries are then lovingly spread out on raised beds, where they bask in the gentle embrace of the sun for a duration of 15-20 days. It is during this time that nature works its magic, as the cherries gradually dehydrate, intensifying their sugars and flavors to perfection.
This process is not just a routine; it is a tradition passed down through generations, a testament to the deep-rooted connection between the land and its people. As the cherries undergo their sun-drenched transformation, they absorb the essence of Birbirsa's unique terroir—its rich soil, its temperate climate, and its vibrant spirit.
Once the cherries have reached their optimal moisture content, they are carefully milled to reveal the green Natural coffee beans within. Each bean carries with it the story of Birbirsa—the toil of its farmers, the bounty of its land, and the passion of its people. From farm to cup, this journey is a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the timeless allure of Ethiopian coffee.
