Ethiopian Yirgacheffe – Single Origin
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and among its many growing regions, Yirgacheffe stands apart as one of the most iconic. Grown at extremely high altitudes in iron-rich, acidic soils, these beans develop slowly, building the complexity and elegance that have made Yirgacheffe world-famous.
Washed Yirgacheffes like this one are celebrated for their bright, floral character and refined, tea-like body. From the very first sip you’ll notice fragrant notes of jasmine and citrus blossom, followed by lively lemon zest and subtle berry sweetness. Medium in body yet endlessly layered, the cup finishes long, resonant, and complex—so clean and distinctive that many connoisseurs consider it the closest thing to a “perfect coffee.”
We roast our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe to a Light profile that preserves its delicate aromatics and bright structure, then ship it within 24 hours of roasting. That means the vibrant florals and sparkling finish reach you alive and uncompromised.
