Yirgacheffe was recognised as a distinct coffee region in the 1960’s when Ethiopia’s coffee industry began to expand. The coffee is renowned for its floral and citrus flavours and the brew resembles a tea-like mouthfeel. This is due to washed processing of the coffee that creates a delicate body.

The imported green beans have a bright acidity with unique and delightful notes of lemon and jasmine. This produces an aromatic, easy-to-drink coffee which is perfect for those who enjoy black coffee all throughout the day.

Yirgacheffe is situated close to the wild coffee growing regions in the South-West – the birthplace of coffee. Wild coffee contains many variations due to the nature of the environment; however certain traits can be controlled and accentuated when grown in a plantation, including its resistance to disease. Strains of coffee varieties were taken from these wild regions and planted in the 5 main regions across Ethiopia. After being trademarked in 2004, Yirgacheffe gained global recognition and the quality of coffees exported subsequently improved. Ethiopia has a good reputation for traceability and all of our Ethiopian coffees can be sourced back to their plantations upon further information from the broker.

This is a truly unique coffee with subtle character but strong flavour. It is also one of our favourite coffees to try as a cold brew.
