Description

Known for its sweet flavour and aroma with a light to medium body. Ethiopian Yirgacheffes are spicy and fragrant, and are frequently reviewed and rated as some of the highest quality Arabica coffees in the world.

Their premium reputation also often means they carry a premium price, but even so, they offer better value for your money than other comparables (such as Hawaiian Kona and Jamaican Blue Mountain).

Brewing

With great care taken through the growing, harvesting, processing, sorting, distribution, roasting and final delivery stages, how much you enjoy the final product will depend on your brewing method and preferences.

Premium, high quality coffees like the Yirgacheffe should be enjoyed to the fullest - ground properly, and brewed slowly using a french press or pour over (eg. Chemex) without a paper filter so that the full spectrum of flavour can be experienced.

Paper filters will strain out all of the coffee grounds leaving nothing at the bottom of your keep, which is typically seen as a positive, but it also removes most coffee oils, which contain much of the flavours.

Personal tastes vary however, and you should brew your coffee how you enjoy it.
