Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Considered by many to be the birthplace of coffee, Yirgacheffe needs little introduction. With a mild climate that experiences a lot of rainfall, Yirgacheffe’s high altitudes produce fruit-forward, sweet coffees that are always a favorite among coffee drinkers around the world. Kochere, where this coffee comes from, is a woreda at the peak of Yirgacheffe.

Ancient landrace varieties dominate the smallholder coffee gardens that are tended by farmers who intercrop food crops to maximize the potential of this region’s fertile soil. The small-sized beans, which are characteristic of Ethiopian coffee, contain distinctly sweet and fruity flavors that yield a delicious cup profile full of balanced acidity and complex notes..
