Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Edido G1

Process : Washed

Cupping Notes : Blueberry, Pineapple & Florals

Yirgacheffe, situated within the Gedeo Zone in the Southern Nations Nationality and People's region (SNNP) of southern Ethiopia, is renowned for its exquisite, washed coffees. This steep, lush area is both fertile and elevated, with much of the coffee grown at altitudes of 2,000 meters above sea level. The Idido washing station, nestled at elevations ranging from 1,960 to 2,090 meters above sea level, receives cherries grown in the surrounding area. The distinct wet and dry seasons create ideal conditions for coffee processing. Farmers painstakingly handpick the cherries and deliver them to the washing station, where a meticulous hand-sorting process removes under-ripe or damaged cherries. The cherries are then pulped using the station's disc pulper and fermented for 72 hours. After fermentation, the parchment is washed in clean water and transferred to raised drying beds. The beans are evenly distributed on these beds, ensuring consistent turning and coverage to achieve uniform drying. The coffee remains here for 12 to 15 days, reaching the optimal moisture content before undergoing hulling and preparation for export.

This is a super juicy coffee with tropical aromas and delicate floral notes. A bright and vibrant coffee which we love as a pour over!
