From the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe has become world famous for its coffees. Farmers grow it in their gardens, often on an area smaller than 1 hectare. Coffee grows there alongside other crops such as sweet potatoes, mangoes and avocados.
This coffee was harvested by members of the YCFCU cooperative when the berries reached perfect ripeness. This is when farmers get paid the most and the cooperative can in turn sell their quality coffee to us.
If you filter brew this Yirgacheffe, as a drip, in Chemex or in a regular brewer, the cup expands with candied lemon, white floral and notes of bergamot. When brewing espresso, either manually or in an automatic machine, pay attention to the degree of grinding and try to achieve a slightly longer steeping time than usual to retain the natural acidity of the coffee. Here, the result is magical with milk, like a flat white or cappuccino.
Always freshly toasted. For this variety, it takes a maximum of 2 weeks from roasting until we ship to you!
