Preparation Methods
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is a pleasantly sweet coffee. It has a strong character and therefore we recommend drinking it as a single origin or in an espresso mixture for some fruit and sweetness.
The coffee is perfect as cappuccino or flat white, as its sweetness and fruit are particularly well accentuated here. In addition, it works well for all filter preparations such as Chemex or Aeropress, as well as in summer as cold brew.
Origin
According to legend, Ethiopia is the country of origin of coffee. Above all, Ethiopian coffee is the first impressive experience with speciality coffee for many coffee lovers. Washed Yirgacheffe coffees are sweet and have pronounced fruity floral notes, but also acidity. They are far away from the coffees we are used to in everyday life. For many coffee lovers Yirgacheffes are the most spectacular and popular coffees ever.
This Ethiopian highland Arabica is grown in the Yirgacheffe region at an altitude of 1,780 - 1,860 metres above sea level. The coffee is grown as garden coffee by several family businesses and hand-picked. This coffee is washed and dried on special platforms, which gives it a taste of clarity and complexity that makes it very exciting and popular.
Roasting Recommendation for washed Yirgacheffe
The coffee can be roasted from light (city) to darker (full city+). In the lighter roast, citrus notes are emphasized; in the darker roast, the black tea flavours are accentuated. Between city+ and full city lies the point where the sweetness is most pronounced.
