Our Ethiopian offering from the Yirgacheffe region is balanced and fruity. It’s something that you can sit down and enjoy as an experience and take a break from your standard daily coffee. We think this coffee is great as drip coffee, though if you like to do something different you can pull this as espresso as well.

The Story
The Testi Adorsi washing station is located in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, and was built in 2000. It serves around 500 smallholder farmers in the area, who deliver their ripe cherries to the Gersi collection point for processing at this washing station. The coffee here is dried on raised beds for 15–18 days.
Coffees in Ethiopia are typically grown on very small plots of land by farmers who also grow other crops. The majority of smallholders will deliver their coffee in cherry to a nearby washing station or central processing unit, where their coffee will be sorted, weighed, and paid for or given a receipt. Coffee is then processed, usually washed or natural, by the washing station and dried on raised beds. Typically farmers in this region don't have access to and therefore do not utilize fertilizers or pesticides in the production of coffee.

Coffee beans cultivated at higher elevations have more complex and nuanced flavors and aromas.
SINGLE ORIGIN
Single-origin coffees are all from the same region and normally the same farm / coop. This means you are more likely to get a flavor / aroma based on the origin and not a mix of flavors like you would in a blend.
NATURAL PROCESSING
Natural processed coffee beans are dried with the cherry skin, which results in a brighter and fruiter flavors.
