ETHIOPIA: Yukro

5 lb : $72.50 2 lb : $35.00 12 oz : $14.50 (MSRP : $22.00) ABOUT: Yukro co-operative was originally formed in 1977, in the village of Wanja Qarsa, in the Gera District of Jimma. Today, they are part of the Keta Meduga Union, an umbrella for some of West-Ethiopia's best performing co-operative in terms of quality coffee (such as Biftu Gudina and Duromina.) This coffee is produced in a semi-forest farming system on smallholder farms ranging between 1 and 20 hectares. The plants do well in their naturally cultivated conditions, surrounded by evergreen jungle forests. The cherries are immediately processed after collection; using the eco-friendly Penagos 1500. The mucilage is mechanically removed after it is fermented for 12 hours. Early in the morning, the coffee is placed upon drying shaded beds for 3-4 hours to initiate the drying process. Finally, it is dried for 6-7 days on elevated drying beds, on which it is both moved and sorted regularly. TASTING NOTES: Dark Chocolate, Black Cherry and Black Tea ROAST LEVEL: Light Roast RECOMENDED BREW METHOD: We recommend brewing this coffee as a pour over. We have been tasting a lot of floral and fruity notes like black tea and stone-fruits with a sweetness of Belgian chocolate. Like with all of our coffees, enjoy it how you like it!
