Ethiopian coffees are a product of their micro-climates, and Yirgacheffe takes full advantage of its amazing conditions. The coffee here is washed, meaning that the coffee cherries are first fermented to remove the sweet, sugary mucilage from the coffee seeds, which are called coffee beans. Following this step, the coffee undergoes a very thorough washing process before being dried on raised screens. This lends itself to more vibrant fruit notes and floral aromatics than other processing methods, which also makes for an excellent cold brew.
