Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of this Grade 1 microlot from the Aricha Wubanchi Washing Station in Yirgacheffe. At an altitude of 2,200 meters, surrounded by lush nature and nourished by the clear waters of the Resitay River, the coffee cherries are cultivated by over 1,700 passionate smallholder farmers. These families plant their Jarc heirloom varieties alongside other crops directly in their forest gardens – affectionately known as "garden coffee."
Yirgacheffe is the heart of Ethiopian coffee culture, renowned for its delicate and distinctive aromas. The combination of fertile soils, consistent rainfall, and centuries of experience gives this coffee an unparalleled range of flavors. In the cup, you can expect fruity notes of apricot, lemon tart, and Earl Grey tea.
The processing is carried out with dedication: Only the ripest cherries are hand-picked, fermented, washed, and gently sun-dried for 10 to 12 days on raised beds in Africa. Each bean is carefully turned regularly and protected from rain or the midday sun before it begins its journey to Addis Ababa, where it is finally sorted and prepared for export.
We are delighted to present this excellent coffee from the Aricha Wubanchi Washing Station. The light roast brings out classic Yirgacheffe aromas such as bergamot and black tea. This coffee is a sensational companion as a crisp cup of filter coffee or a fruity espresso.
