Factoid: Ethiopia is known in the coffee industry as the producer of some of the finest coffees in the world. It is the birthplace of Coffea Arabica, or coffee as we know it. Because this region has had generations to develop genetic diversity, it is an incredibly nuanced region for flavor and delicacy. Expect a depth of floral and fruit flavors from these washed heirloom varietals.
Yirgacheffe Natural
- Farm: Various Smallholders, Boji Wash Station
- Farmer: Various Smallholders
- Country of Origin: Ethiopia
- Region: Kore, Kochere, Yirgacheffe
- Variety: Ethiopia Heirloom
- Process: Natural
- Altitude: 1795-1900 MASL
Factoid: Kore is a village in the district Kochere. The larger region encompassing this district is Yirgacheffe. In the past few years coffee here has become much more traceable. Due to recently made political allowances, importers can now trace Ethiopian coffees to the wash station where the beans are processed. Each farm averages about two or three acres, so it literally takes a village to create a full crop. This sparkling berry brew is sure to transport you to the country that coffee was born.
