Ethiopia
Ethiopia is commonly known as the birthplace of coffee, and when villagers still collect wild beans from uncultivated coffee forests to this day, it is hard to refute.
Our green coffee beans from Ethiopia bring a clean, bright, sweet, and diverse flavor dependent on the roast. These coffees often have a higher acidity, a light to medium body, and sophisticated flavor notes. Known for their syrupy, velvet mouthfeel, Ethiopian coffees often feature citrus and floral flavors as well as peach, strawberry, or bakers chocolate.

Ethiopian Guji Natural Org. Gr. 1 – Kayon Mountain Shakiso
Kayon Mountain has become a tradition around here, marks one of our favorite times of the year, new Ethiopian season! Beautiful coffee and screen.
Clean, bright, sweet with a very diverse flavor set. Stone and darker fruit, citrus & floral, and spiced chocolate tones are the main flavors one can see in this cup, either accentuated or muted depending on roast level. Nice jammy body will be seen in the medium to borderline dark roast mark. Very dependent on roast – lighter roasting gives much more of the citrus, red-fruit with just a hint of a spicy chocolaty factor, a much dryer finish. Darker roasts produce much more of a bakers chocolate cup with a hint of a strawberry like fruit note and good sweetness, far less acidic. A very enjoyable cup from light to dark.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Gedeb Gr. 1 – Ephtah Lalesa – Honey Processed
Regular Price: $12.29
Lighter roasting is recommended to see the cup shine but hard to find a bad roast point. Lighter roasts are where you will see the cleanliness of the cup, balanced tones with good mouthfeel and hardly a hint of anything grassy or vegetal. It will have some decent brightness, lemony with just a pinch of peachy or tropical like fruitiness. The aromatics are unique being overly floral with some classic Ethiopian hints of lavender/jasmine. The lighter tones pull some balance with the classic tea (herbal/spice) like darker tones. Medium roasts really mellow out the acidity and reduce the citric & floral tastes, creates a bit more body and a much more recognizable chocolaty factor. A very smooth, balanced and rich cup with exotic highlights. Darker roasts are fuller bodied and dark toned: roasty, bakers chocolate with some unique spice and rich aromatics.Price:Price: Original price was: $12.29.$10.99Current price is: $10.99.$12.29/lb$10.99/lb -

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Natural Gr. 1 – Idedo – Mrs. Tigest Wako
Regular Price: $10.50
Fantastic example of an Ethiopian Natural. Keep this one light to medium roasted. Too dark and the awesome crisp and clean fruit/floral notes disappear. A mellow cup on the sweeter side with nice darker fruit tones popping right out. The cool natural tones balance with a tea like spice note, a sign of its roots, Yirgs are known for their more tea like dark tones. Many would call it a chocolaty undertone with a jazzy spice note but we like the tea reference and most will agree. A bit more delicate of a cup with a little lower acidity. Depending on what you like this can be a real perk, fruity and sweet without risking high acidity or overly sour tones at the lighter roast points. A little easy to roast out the fruitiness, so don’t let it get too dark!Price:Price: Original price was: $10.50.$9.39Current price is: $9.39.$10.50/lb$9.39/lb -

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Natural Gr. 2 – Hirut
Best at light to medium roast levels but works from light to dark depending on your personal tastes. Bright, clean, and sweet cup, medium-bodied with a creamy aftertaste. Very fruity profile: crisp citrus reminiscent of lemon, orange, and grapefruit, with a core of red fruits (blackberry/strawberry) and a slight floral undertone (lavender). These lovely lighter toned balance with a nice chocolaty undertone with some spice that is somewhat reminiscent of tea, which many would consider the terroir of Yirgacheffe. If you push the roast a little further, medium to dark, the cups turns much more chocolatey and spice notes with just a pinch of fruit in the aftertaste. In the light to medium roast range, a juicy sweetness with hints of watermelon is perceived. A balanced and very expressive combination.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Natural Org. Gr. 1 – Welde Hirbe
Single-estate microlot with full traceability: for over three decades, Wolde Hirbe has tended his 10-acre farm near Jemjemo, a member of Adame Gorbota and, since 2012, the YCFCU Single Farmer Project, which enforces rigorous processing and regular technical visits support that improves prices and has helped stabilize income for his family. Set in Wenago (Gedeo), birthplace of “Yirgacheffe,” the coffee grows in shaded agroforestry with enset, protecting soil and moderating ripening. In the cup, expect melon-like fruit, lemony acidity, a silky, medium-leaning body, and a clean chocolate-and-nutty backbone, staying remarkably consistent from hot to cool. Easy to roast and versatile (with a bit more chaff), it shines at medium: go a touch lighter to highlight citrus and fruit, or a touch darker for a cocoa/dark-chocolate emphasis. Even pushed darker it largely preserves that silky medium body. A sweet, crisp, and polished Gedeb profile—expressive yet balanced, with producer-level transparency.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Washed Gr. 2 – Banko Chelchele
Good from light to dark but we thought best at a strong medium to dark roast. A good bean to go after a rich and semi-exotic chocolate tone with some wonderful aromatics and a bit of spice. Light roasts are more citric and floral with wonderful aromatics and a sweet edged, a bit punchy in the citric department and contrasts with a bit of nutty/herbal/grassy undertones. Works well but needs a much longer setup time bring out smooth and clean tastes, sharp and grassy/herbal if drank too soon. Medium roasts will bring some lovely balance to the cup and provides a clean tasting brew without waiting a week to drink it. One starts seeing the chocolate aspect but will still pull some balance with the citric and floral. Less aromatic than the light roasts, but you can still tell you have a nice Ethiopian with one sniff. Darker roasts touching or into second crack are real robust, strong and semi-sweet, more bakers-chocolate like with tea like spice in the aftertaste.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Washed Gr. 2 – Hirut
Best at light to medium roast levels but depending on personal taste, works nicely from light to dark. A crisp, clean, sweet and very floral cup (jasmine like), with some classic Yirgacheffe chocolate and tea-like spice contrast. Light roasts are delicate and pretty bright, accentuating the floral but also the herbal tea like components. Overall the acidity is medium and is perceived more as mandarin orange than sharp lemon; the sweetness is reminiscent of caramel, and as the temperature drops, a cocoa base is felt, adding more body. Subtle fruity notes (blackberry/sweet citrus) and a slight spice note; a silky medium body and a very clean finish with hints of honey and cocoa. A rich and expressive coffee in which, although there is fruit, the floral notes dominate with a tea-like character.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Washed Org. Gr. 1 – Adame Garbota – Single Producer: Desta Golo
A wonderful example of a darker toned, lower acidity Ethiopian. We thought best from medium to dark roasts but it will still find fans at lighter roast points. Lighter roasts will have some buzzy acidity and just a hint of lemon/floral balanced with smooth and rich herbaceous spice notes. A bit more on the bergamot/dark-tea like Yirgacheffe profile. Medium roasts turn the herbaceous notes towards the chocolaty side moving the herbal/tea like tones to the aftertaste. A bit fuller bodied, lower acidity with complex darker tones. Dark roasts turn semi-sweet and even more chocolaty, the spice is readily noticeable and the body picks up a bit of a creamy factor, the roasty/smoky notes mix well with the darker toned profile of this bean but will not hold its sweet edge like most Ethiopians.
