Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe, Filter

A stunning drink from the birthplace of coffee. This is a light roast that suits non-espresso preparation.

This year’s Yirgacheffe comes to us from the Kochere washing station, situated in the Gedeo zone at the southernmost point of the region. It is a washed Grade 1 coffee sourced for us by our friends at Nordic Approach. To achieve Grade 1 the coffee is meticulously hand-sorted throughout processing, both in the cherry and washed parchment. The pulped coffee is traditionally fermented in tanks for up to 48 hours and then dried on raised beds for 10-12 days. The strict selection protocols, altitude, and iron-rich soils of the area combine here to give deeply complex, elegant, and ethereal cups.

This coffee has been roasted light to highlight its distinct acidity profile and best suits plunger and filter preparation. For espresso drinks, try our dark roast of the Yirgacheffe.
