Yirgacheffe coffee is wet processing (washed) coffee grown at elevations from 1,700 to 2,200 meters above sea level, and is considered the best high grown coffee in southern Ethiopia, an exotic coffee region known for fine coffees. These elevations qualify Yirgacheffes as Strictly High Grown (SHG) / Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffees, where coffees grow slowly due to the altitude, allowing additional time for the tree to deliver nutrients to the coffee and develop the best flavors.

AustraliaUpdated roast profile: Aged 6 days, it's deliciously well-rounded. Caramel sweetness and ample body is warmingly pleasing. Outstanding uniformity, body, and balance makes this coffee perfect for espresso, as well as any filter.
Sweet cinnamon and bergamot aroma. Banana brulée and french toast taste, and maple syrup sweetness. Stable texture/mouthfeel. Good for both filter and espresso coffees, with or without milk.
Love this bean and profile. Super well balanced and for me, I make a double espresso most mornings. Tastes like blue berries and has rich crema. Great for pour-over as well when I'm feeling for a longer-black to sip on through my day.
