Ethiopian Coffee, Yirgacheffe!

Ethiopia
The natural home of the arabica tree and t
he setting for most of origins coffee legends,
Ethiopia is Africa’s top arabica exporter and
leads the continent in domestic consumption.

About 12 million Ethiopians make their living
from  origins coffee, whose name is said to be
a derivation of “Kaffa,” the name of an Ethiopian
province.
Notable Beans: Harrar, Sidamo, Yirgacheffe


Ethiopia produces some of the most unique and
fascinating coffees in the world, and the finest
Yirgacheffe examples possess an extremely
noticeable floral aroma.

Yirgacheffe  is grown near Yirgacheffe, in the
district of Sidamo, in southern Ethiopia. The bean
is grown in the mountainous regions at high
altitude, is wet processed and results in a truly
amazing cup!  Medium body, medium acidity,
with  ash and smokey notes.
