Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee Grade 1 – Direct from Ethiopia | Floral & Citrus | 12oz
Roasted · 12 oz
There is a reason Yirgacheffe is the most talked-about coffee region on earth. One sip and you understand. Grade 1 Yirgacheffe, sourced directly from small family farms in the Ethiopian highlands. No brokers. No blending. No shortcuts. Just coffee grown at altitude, harvested by hand, and shipped to you with nothing removed and nothing added. A light roast opens with jasmine blossom, lemon zest, and a brightness that feels almost like tea. Clean, delicate, and completely alive. Medium roast adds depth, stone fruit, and a bergamot quality that lingers long after the cup is empty. Dark roast rounds into sweet berry and dark chocolate with a finish that keeps pulling you back. Yirgacheffe sits between 1,900 and 2,400 metres in southern Ethiopia. The altitude, volcanic soil, and highland mist create conditions that exist nowhere else. This is the birthplace of Arabica coffee. It tastes exactly like it should. Roasted in small batches in Detroit. Shipped within 48 hours of your order. This is Ethiopian coffee exactly as it was meant to be experienced.
Roaster's Notes
"Whole-bean Yirgacheffe rewards patience. Grind just before brewing and the full aromatic complexity fills the room before the first drop lands."

Started my day with this Yirgacheffe every morning for the past two weeks and I genuinely look forward to it now. The dark roast has a deep rich body with just enough brightness to keep it interesting. Nothing bitter, nothing harsh. Absolutely worth the price.
Really impressed with these beans. The medium roast gave a well-balanced cup with chocolate undertones and a clean finish. I've tried a lot of single-origin coffees and this one stands out for consistency. Knocked a star only because shipping took a couple extra days but the coffee itself is outstanding.
As someone from Ethiopia this coffee brought me right back. Authentic Yirgacheffe taste, bright, complex, and clean. The beans were fresh and the packaging kept everything sealed well. Fast shipping too. Highly recommend to anyone who wants real Ethiopian coffee.
I ordered the light roast whole bean and immediately noticed the jasmine aroma when grinding. Brewed it as a pour-over and the citrus brightness was stunning. My partner who doesn't usually like black coffee couldn't stop drinking it. Will be a repeat customer.
I've been drinking Ethiopian coffee for years but this Yirgacheffe is on another level. The floral and blueberry notes are incredibly distinct. It tastes like something you'd pay $8 for at a specialty cafe. Light roast is perfect, I won't go back to anything else.
