Ethiopian coffee is the most popular of the African coffees and it is commonly recognized as the birthplace of coffee. Even today most of the Ethiopian coffee plantations are largely comprised of heirloom varietals. When correctly processed the cup qualities on these heirloom Ethiopian coffees are among the most exotic and extraordinary coffees in the world of coffee.

Yirgacheffe coffee farming is unusual in the fact that the bulk of the crop is gathered from wild coffee trees giving this coffee a truly exotic flavor with pleasant citrus acidity. A coffee of great complexity, that is organically grown in southern Ethiopia. This region produces distinctively floral/fruit toned coffees from traditional heirloom Arabica coffee varietals. This high altitude grown coffee is hand-picked, washed processed, and sun-dried.
