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 a pronounced 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.
