Ethiopian
Yergacheffe
Organic
Fair
Trade Certified™
Ethiopian Yergacheffe is a very
alluring coffee! The citrus
notes have a truly
unique character. After grinding,
you will notice a sweet caramel
fragrance. After brewing, you may
notice a spicy, pepper note. The
finish is zesty with hints of
plum.
Insight
from our Master Coffee Importer
Ethiopia is the birthplace of
coffee. The regal coffees from
this country are deserving of such
a heritage and stand up to the
calling. Referring to Ethiopia as
a country of single origin,
however, is misleading. Coffees
from the different growing regions
vary so incredibly that they do
not even seem to be from the same
planet!
Ethiopian Yergacheffes are amazing
and unique coffees. Yergacheffe is
a town in the Sidamo region of
Ethiopia, and the coffees from
this region will surprise you with
their floral and tangerine
notes.
In a stellar Yergacheffe, even the
grounds have an exotic tropical
toasted coconut aroma that will
knock you over with its charms.
Some will try to
compare Yergacheffes to other
coffees, such as a bright Central
American or a Kenyan, just south
of the border from Ethiopia, but
there truly is not a real
comparison.
Another amazing growing region
within Ethiopia is the Harrar
region. Harrars are wild coffees.
The
term is a fancy name for dry
process or natural coffee where
the coffee fruit dries on the
bean, imparting the flavors of
compote fruit and dark rich
chocolate. Harrars are this and
more! You will taste blueberry
jam, cocoa, and maybe even a touch
of cinnamon and cardamom in these
amazing coffees.
Coffee holds a special place in
Ethiopian culture that transcends
that of the coffees from other
origin countries. The majority of
the crop does not even leave the
country and is drunk with great
ceremony by the Ethiopian people.
This is in contrast to other
origins where coffee is a cash
crop, with the best being
exported, and the dregs kept
locally and drunk unceremoniously
with plenty of milk and sugar to
choke it down.
One taste of an excellent
Ethiopian coffee and you will
understand this passion for the
bean.
