Coffee from Ethiopia - Yirgacheffe.

Coffee from Ethiopia is this African country's gift to the world. It was here that coffee berries were first picked from the bush and where fresh coffee was first roasted. The forests of Ethiopia are still home to a huge variety of undiscovered coffee plants. We offer you Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, considered the best coffee from Ethiopia. The town of Yirgacheffe (Irgachefe) is located in the Sidamo area of Ethiopia at an altitude of about 1900 meters above sea level and is the administrative center . The coffee berries are harvested by hand from small coffee plantations located in the high mountains above the town of Sidamo. They are also locally washed and then soaked for 72 hours in special tanks.  Sidamo is the capital of the southern region of Ethiopia; the country's capital is Addis Ababa. It is in the capital city of Ethiopia that the central coffee bean processing centers operate. After arriving in Addis Ababa, the coffee undergoes sorting and packaging. The capital is also home to the Coffee Exchange, which sells virtually all coffee from Ethiopia on behalf of the state. The use of wet processing adds an intense aroma to the beans. The plantations from which the coffee in our store comes are located at altitudes between 1,750 m and 2,100 m above sea level. The variety of coffee bush is Heirloom, a natural heritage of Ethiopia.

The taste of our coffee is dominated by citrus fruit with an intense floral aroma; notes of orange, grapefruit and lime. Elegant acidity and a thick crema of freshly roasted coffee. Tiny exotic notes of pepper and cinnamon. Because of its bouquet of flavors, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is perfect for cold brew and summer drinking.  

We recommend that you choose the medium roast for your Ethiopia Yirgacheffe; this best conveys its delicate citrus characteristics. The light roast offers more acidity and a more pronounced citrus note. The dark roast is for lovers of heavier and sweeter coffees.
