Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans come from the Yirgacheffe coffee region of Ethiopia. Since 850 AD, lush coffee trees have been known to grow naturally in the Yirgacheffe coffee region. These trees were first discovered when a young goat herder noticed that his goats were more lively than usual. He determined that the liveliness of his goats increased when they consumed green coffee cherries from the local wild coffee trees growing in the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe region. So, he decided to give the coffee a try for himself. Realizing that these Yirgacheffe beans had delicious flavor notes and provided an amazing source of energy, local farmers began cultivating Ethiopian coffee for themselves!

These medium-roast Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans are carefully dried with natural wet processing methods.

For the best flavors, green coffee cherries from Ethiopia must be handled with care. Single-origin gourmet coffee beans can be refined using natural or delicate wet processing methods. This method implements green coffee cherries that are carefully processed. The wet processing mill was first introduced in the 1970s. When wet processed, the Yirgacheffe green coffee beans are thoroughly washed and then left on rotating raised beds for two to three days. This removes the distinctive green coffee bitterness and acidity while allowing the natural coffee oils and essences to rise to the surface. The resulting Yirgacheffe coffee is lighter and more delicate with floral flavor notes and a touch of natural sweetness.
