Ethiopia - Yirgacheffe, Worka Sakaro

Location: Yirgacheffe

Elevation: 6,000 fasl

Process: Natural Dry

Notes of jasmine, blackberry, tangerine. 

This is a Natural Yirgacheffe coffee and processed at the Sakaro mill. 

This area grows some of the highest regarded and most expensive Yirgacheffe beans, grown over 6000 feet above sea level. This crop was packed in grainpro bags to seal in and preserve freshness. They are hand sorted until they have achieved Grade 1 status which is rare for a natural coffee from Ethiopia. The result of all this care is that you have a flawlessly clean tasting coffee with sweet fruity tastes and aroma. The flavors aren't over the top with intensity, but you'll note flavors of blackberry, tangerine, strawberry, and floral jasmine with a slightly thin mouthfeel. The coffee has no earthy or fermented tastes, and a sweet nice lingering aftertaste. 

This natural lot comes to us from the Worka Sakaro washing station in the Gedeb district of Ethiopia. Along with 12 standardized washing tanks and 171 drying beds, Worka Sakaro has 2.9 hectares of land for coffee growing located at 1995masl in the village of Worka Chelbiesa.
