Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Yirgacheffe is the name that serious coffee drinkers recognise immediately, and for good reason. This small district in southern Ethiopia produces washed coffees that are unlike anything else — delicate, floral, and complex in a way that only comes from the birthplace of coffee. If you've only ever drunk blends, a well-made Yirgacheffe is the kind of cup that resets your reference point.

🫘 Roasted fresh daily — shipped the same day. Arrives fresh, not stale.

Tasting Notes

• Bergamot — the defining note, like Earl Grey tea in the best possible way
• Jasmine — a floral quality that hits on the aroma before you even take a sip
• Lemon zest — clean, bright citrus acidity
• Peach — soft stone fruit sweetness in the mid-palate
• Light-medium body — delicate and clean, long finish

The Roast

Ethiopian washed coffees are roasted light — the profile is set to protect the florals and acidity that make Yirgacheffe worth buying in the first place. Take it too dark and you lose everything that makes it distinctive. We roast to just past first crack, tracking the development curve carefully on every small batch to make sure the florals are intact when the bag reaches you.

Works For

• V60 — the classic pairing; nothing shows off Yirgacheffe better
• Chemex — produces a beautifully clean, almost tea-like cup
• Aeropress — good for a shorter, more concentrated brew
• Cold brew — the florals carry through surprisingly well
