Description

Origin

Grown in the highlands of southern Ethiopia, this washed Yirgacheffe comes from a region where coffee grows as it has for centuries—wild, resilient, and deeply rooted in tradition. Heirloom cultivars thrive beneath native forest canopies, developing the complexity and character that have made Yirgacheffe one of the most celebrated origins in the world.

Coffee here is cultivated by smallholder farmers on modest family plots, where every cherry is carefully hand-picked at peak ripeness. The harvest is then delivered to local washing stations, where precise processing brings clarity and structure to the cup, preserving the region’s signature floral elegance.

This lot is a true expression of classic washed Yirgacheffe—vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully layered. Delicate notes of jasmine tea and honeysuckle open the cup, followed by soft apricot sweetness and a gentle touch of dark chocolate in the finish.

ORIGIN — ETHIOPIA

Ethiopia is widely considered the birthplace of coffee, and nowhere is this heritage more evident than in Yirgacheffe. This region is defined by high elevations, diverse microclimates, and some of the most genetically rich coffee varieties on earth.
Producers typically farm small plots, often less than a hectare, cultivating coffee alongside food crops in a forest-like ecosystem.

Washing stations play a crucial role in quality, bringing together cherry from hundreds of families and applying exacting fermentation and drying standards that have shaped Yirgacheffe’s global reputation for clarity, florals, and finesse.

Clean, balanced, and quietly complex—this is Yirgacheffe in its purest form.
