More about Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Description

This remarkable coffee comes from the farm of Mrs. Burtukan Geremew. Her farm is situated in the Idedo region, where she has lived her whole life, and consists of only 2.6 hectares. Mrs. Geremew inherited this farm from her parents, and her family now cultivates it. Old varieties have been replanted, and all coffee is processed naturally. The coffee is dried naturally on African raised beds for 12-14 days before it is collected, packaged and exported.

Country and Region Heirloom Ethiopian Varieties

Among coffee-producing countries, Ethiopia holds near-legendary status not only because it’s the “birthplace” of Arabica coffee, but also because it is simply unlike every other place in the coffee world. Unlike the vast majority of coffee-growing countries, the plant was not introduced as a cash crop through colonization. Instead, growing, processing, and drinking coffee is part of the everyday way of life, and has been for centuries, since the trees were discovered growing wild in forests and eventually cultivated for household use and commercial sale.

Yirgacheffe has become famous for coffees that tastes like blueberries. This region is plentiful. The thick vegetation is a product of the warm tropical climate with moderate wet and dry seasons. Most coffee is shade-grown by small producers using organic practices. Coffees are cultivated from 1600 to 2400 masl in these highlands. The multitude of microregions creates complex profiles depending on the washing station a particular coffee is from.

Process: Natural

Natural coffees are typically delivered the day they are harvested, and are first sorted for ripeness and quality before being rinsed clean of dirt. Then they are spread on raised drying beds or tables, where they will be rotated constantly throughout the course of drying. Drying can take an average of 8-25 days, depending on the weather.
