Corktown Blend: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Washed & Brazil Ines Yellow Bourbon

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Washed 

• Farm: Various Smallholder Farms 
• Farmer: Various Smallholders 
• Country of Origin: Ethiopia 
• Region: Sede, Yirgacheffe 
• Variety: Heirloom Ethiopia 
• Process: Washed 
• Altitude: 1780-1870 MASL

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. 

Brazil Ines Yellow Bourbon  

• Farm: Fazenda Santa Ines 
• Farmer: The Pereira family 
• Country of Origin: Brazil 
• Region: Carmo de Minas, Minas Gerais 
• Variety: Yellow Bourbon 
• Process: Natural 
• Altitude: 900-1050 MASL 

Factoid: The Pereira family turned a sharp focus toward quality since they took over the farm in 1979. Fazenda Santa Ines was planted with new varietals even though it already had coffee crop. The farm went on to produce the world record holder for the highest scored specialty coffee. The Pereira’s have a keen focus on soil health and diversity on the farm; less than half the land is used for coffee trees. Their attention to quality has brought us this smooth and complex natural process coffee.
