"Yirgacheffe ground is meant to be brewed without ceremony — pour-over, drip, or press. The jasmine opens immediately in hot water. The lemon brightness lifts the cup into something clean and alive."

Brewing Guide
Brew This Bean Right
Yirgacheffe's delicate florals are best expressed through filter methods. The lighter the roast, the higher the floral intensity. Avoid over-extraction.
Pour-Over (Chemex)
30g · 500ml · 90°C · 4-min brew. The florals open like a perfume. Best method for this bean.
Aeropress (Inverted)
15g · 200ml · 88°C · 1.5 min. Bright, clean, jasmine-forward with a lemon finish.
Cold Brew
60g coarse · 500ml cold water · 18h in fridge. Yirgacheffe cold brew is ethereal — sweet, floral, almost tea-like.
Traditional Buna
Roast green beans over charcoal, grind in a mukecha, brew in a jebena. The ceremony is the ritual.
Origin
The Gedeo Highlands
Yirgacheffe sits inside the larger Gedeo Zone in Ethiopia's southern highlands, at elevations between 1,900 and 2,400 metres. It is considered the birthplace of Arabica coffee. The cool mist, shade trees, and rich forest soil create a microclimate that produces the most aromatic coffee on the planet. Small-holder farmers here have been growing coffee for over a thousand years.
