Product description
  • Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee is considered one of the best coffees in the world. It comes from the town of Yirga Chefe in southern Ethiopia. The variety, terroir, and processing method creates an organic coffee with a fruit-forward flavor that is sought by many coffee lovers.
  •  Unique Difference of Yirgacheffe

  • Yirgachefffe is a specialty coffee that provides a sweet, fruity alternative to other brews. This coffee also attracts drinkers that are looking to avoid big box brands. 

    The use of chemicals to treat coffee in Ethiopia is illegal, resulting in a strong following of organic coffee lovers. Those looking for fair-trade coffee options will be delighted by the wide variety of fair-trade brands on the market.

     This coffee bean is known for being able to be brewed hot or cold.

    • Some coffee fans say that the cold brewing technique through a metal filter is the most ideal brewing process to highlight Yirgacheffe’s signature floral and citrus flavors

    When brewing with hot water, it is important not to brew too long, or the coffee will become “over-extracted,” resulting in the loss of lighter flavors. 
    • Pour Over (like Chemex): Pour over coffee is a method of brewing coffee by pouring hot water over the grounds. The grounds are held in a coffee filter, allowing the water to drain through into a cup or container. Using the pour-over method to brew Yirgacheffe coffee will produce a lighter-bodied coffee with a more intense flavor.
    • Cold Brew: Cold brewing coffee involves combining coffee grounds with water and letting the grounds steep overnight, creating a concentrated brew that can be strained and served over ice. It is important to grind the coffee coarsely for this method. Using a cold brew method will illuminate the fruity elements of Yirgacheffe coffee.
    • French Press: A French press is a glass cylinder with a metal plunger and filter. The plunger is used to press hot water into the ground coffee while filtering. Using a French press to brew Yirgacheffe coffee will produce a milder flavor with a heavier body.

  • Unique Flavor Notes

    The flavor and body of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee is truly unique. Coffee drinkers often describe it as responsible for the divide between coffee connoisseurs and the average coffee drinker because of its distinctive flavor.

    Those who dislike strong, full-bodied cups of coffee find the lightness of Yirgacheffe appealing.

    The unique, intense fruit flavor is due to the high elevation of the area, which tends to produce a harder bean and the wet-processing methods originated in Yirgacheffe.
