Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

Fragrant and floral with wine and fruit overtones, the Yirgacheffe is one of the most prized East African coffees. It has a smooth medium body and long, lingering finish.
Offering a softly fragrant aroma, these coffee beans have a subtle floral scent and a satisfyingly intensified finish that would leave any coffee drinker's palate wanting more.

Yirgacheffe is perhaps one of the most iconic coffee-producing regions in the world. Coffee is produced at extremely high altitudes in iron-rich, acidic soils that create an optimal growing condition for specialty coffee. Washed Yirgacheffes like this one typically have bright, floral cupping profiles. This lot comes to us from relatively small family-owned farms in the Gedeo region of Yirgacheffe, which is named for the group of people living there. Coffees are washed, then placed on raised beds for even drying.
