Yirgacheffe Coffee

If Tea were Coffee

If tea were coffee, it would be called Yirgacheffe. This Ethiopian Washed Arabica is our highlight for all those who appreciate fine and complex aromas. Mild and harmonious, this single origin will win you over with its subtle vanilla and blackberry notes.

Harvested and Processed by Hand

Tero Farm is situated in southern Ethiopia, near the Sidamo region in Guji. The coffee cherries are harvested and sorted by hand by the approximately 800 farmers. At the washing station, they are separated from the pulp, washed and then dried in the sun whilst being turned regularly and carefully – this gives the coffee its clear, delicate flavour profile. A particular highlight? As no chemical fertilisers or pesticides are used, the farm is also organic-certified under the DE-ÖKO-001 standard.

Traditional Cultivation in the Interests of Nature Conservation

Yirgacheffe is grown in shady forest gardens in the southern mountains of Ethiopia. Thanks to the cool, high-altitude climate, the coffee cherries ripen more slowly and have more time to develop their characteristic, fruity and spicy flavor. Traditional cultivation in forest gardens also has advantages in terms of nature conservation: the plants have a higher natural resistance to pests, plant and species diversity is preserved and the method of cultivation provides natural protection against erosion.

Tips for Preparation

All types of filter coffee preparation are suitable for preparing Yirgacheffe coffee. When prepared with a hand filter, fruity-sweet nuances tend to come to the fore, while a French press, for example, emphasizes floral-spicy aromas. Yirgacheffe is best enjoyed pure, as this allows its flavor to develop optimally.
