Description:

From the legendary Yirgacheffe region of southern Ethiopia, this Grade 1 natural coffee represents the pinnacle of Ethiopia’s heirloom diversity. Grown at elevations of 1800–2000 meters, the cherries mature slowly in cool mountain air, developing remarkable sweetness and vibrant acidity.

After harvesting, the cherries are sun-dried on raised beds, allowing the natural sugars to infuse the beans and create the signature Yirgacheffe fruit complexity. The result is a coffee bursting with bright notes of blueberry and peach, balanced by delicate florals and a silky, honey-like mouthfeel.

The medium-light roast preserves the coffee’s origin character—fresh, lively, and aromatic—making it an outstanding showcase of Ethiopia’s natural processing tradition.

Perfect For:

Coffee lovers who enjoy fruity, floral, and aromatic cups with refined sweetness and layered complexity.

Brewing Recommendations:

• Pour-Over (V60, Origami, Kalita): Brings out the floral aroma and juicy fruit notes with clarity and balance.

• Chemex: Enhances the clean, tea-like structure and honey sweetness.

• Espresso: A vibrant, fruity shot—excellent as a single origin espresso or for adventurous milk drinks.

• Cold Brew: Produces a smooth, sweet brew with pronounced berry and peach notes.
