Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Roaster’s Note We chose to roast this coffee as a bright-medium roast to preserve the delicate, high-grown character that makes Yirgacheffe so special. A lighter touch on the roast lets the coffee's natural acidity and fruit-forward complexity shine and adds a balance to bring out the coffee's full character. Our roots will always be connected to our family farm, Finca Terrerito, in Honduras, and the community that makes our coffee journey possible. Most of our coffees are grown, harvested, and processed right there on our own land, it's the heart of everything we do. But every so often, we love the opportunity to step outside our own fields and highlight an exceptional coffee from another origin around the world. This one is a celebration of coffee's birthplace: Ethiopia, where generations of farmers have cultivated unique heirloom varietals that helped shape the world of specialty coffee as we know it today. Sourced through our partners at KANYA Coffee, this coffee comes from the Dumerso microregion of Yirgacheffe, grown between 1,900–2,100 meters in elevation. These are conditions that create exceptional clarity and complexity in the cup. It's a washed Ethiopian Heirloom Arabica, carefully processed to highlight the bright, delicate qualities Yirgacheffe is known for. The result is a bright-medium roast that opens with vibrant grapefruit notes, transitions into the warm sweetness of peach cobbler, and finishes with the rich, lingering depth of dates. Clean, complex, and fruit-forward, this coffee is a true expression of its origin. We recommend brewing this Ethiopia Yirgacheffe in a V60 or Chemex as the thinner filter allows the coffee's more delicate notes to shine through.
