Ethiopia . Yirgacheffe
About this coffee
Kochere sits at the high southern edge of Yirgacheffe, a woreda whose name is shorthand among roasters for some of the most refined coffee Ethiopia produces. It grows near 2,000 meters, tended by smallholders working heirloom varieties, the wild, region specific genetics found only here. This lot is washed and dried with the care that lets Yirgacheffe’s delicacy come through, and graded G1, the top tier. It is the clean, articulate side of Ethiopian coffee, light and silky in the cup, with crisp apple and apricot over a fragrant black tea finish.

Why this coffee works
Elevation drives most of it. Near 2,000 meters the cherries ripen slowly, which is where the brightness and clarity come from. The washed process keeps everything clean and articulate, so nothing muddies the cup. And the heirloom varieties bring that unmistakable Yirgacheffe character, floral, tea like, and precise. A light roast lets all of it stay intact.
