About Our Beans: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Ethiopia is the primary center of the origin of the Arabica coffee plant. Coffee is grown by farmers who may only have a few coffee shrubs amongst their crops. This batch, from the Yirgacheffe region, was grown 5600-7200 feet above sea level and harvested from “heirloom cultivars”, meaning wild coffee plants! The beans underwent a fully washed process; once picked, the cherry was immediately washed off the bean and then sun dried. The resulting cup has a medium body and a smooth, bright and winey taste with a peppery sensation. You may detect black tea, jasmine and lemongrass. Q grade 86.
