Ethiopian Yirgacheffe – Single Origin Specialty Coffee

Our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe single origin coffee is a bright and elegant expression of what makes African coffees so sought after. Grown in the lush, high-altitude region of Yirgacheffe in southern Ethiopia, this heirloom variety offers delicate floral aromatics, zesty citrus, and a silky mouthfeel.

Origin & Process

Grown between 1,700–2,200 meters above sea level, these beans are cultivated by smallholder farmers in Yirgacheffe — one of Ethiopia’s most celebrated coffee-producing regions. The coffee is fully washed and sun-dried on raised beds, a traditional processing method that brings out clarity and brightness in the cup.

Yirgacheffe coffees are renowned for their tea-like qualities, and this lot delivers with clean, layered complexity.
