Äthiopien Yirgacheffe

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and according to legend, monks used coffee’s invigorating effects in the 9th century to stay awake longer during nighttime prayers. Our coffee comes from the southwestern region of Yirgacheffe, where it grows at elevations of 1,300 to 2,000 meters and average daytime temperatures of 15–20 °C. The coffee plants grow beneath shade-giving trees, allowing the flavors to develop gently in the coffee cherries without excessive exposure to sunlight. Combined with our traditional drum roasting, this produces a coffee with balanced body, floral notes reminiscent of Darjeeling tea, low acidity, and a hint of chocolate spice.
