Story

Triangle Accent

Yirgacheffe is a renowned coffee-growing region in southern Ethiopia, and year after year, it produces some of the most expressive coffees we have tasted. Grown at 1,900 meters in the Gedeo Zone, this lot develops vibrant acidity, delicate florals, and a little more weight in the body.

It comes from about 700 smallholder producers who deliver their ripe cherries to the Kebel Aricha mill. Once washed, the coffee dries on raised beds for 12 to 15 days, depending on the weather. Expect notes of peach, black tea, and floral in a light roast that’s unmistakably Yirgacheffe.

    Such a good Ethiopia. So floral and bright. Great as a shot, great as a pour over, perfect in a cappuccino.

    This is hands down my favorite Ethiopian I have tried so far. Typically Ethiopians in specialty coffee are roaster very very lightly, accentuating the floral notes, but this one takes a risk and while still a light roast, approaches a medium which paid off well. The classic Ethiopian flavors are all present but more balanced than I have seen from other roasters.

    Used a 16:1 ratio, and a grind size of "17 or 18" in a Kalita. I loved it, but had to make the grind size larger than expected to yield what I was intending.

    A very floral coffee, and I would put it on the darker side of light, but it mixes well with chocolate.
