Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee Beans

About Our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee Beans

Yirgacheffe is a Mocha coffee bean, and is grown in a particularly favourable sub region of Sidamo in Southern Ethiopia.

This Fairtrade organic Yirgacheffe (Yirg) is a hand-picked top quality washed coffee. Grown as 'Garden Coffee' by local smallholders.

This premium gourmet coffee is a truly hand grown, picked, washed and dried product which allows small Ethiopian farmers to live and work with dignity.

Our premium Yirg coffee is fantastically smooth, with light floral and berry notes at the outset, followed by a deap treacle and chocolaty body and finish. Fantastic coffee beans !

What You Will Get

All of our coffee is freshly roasted by us at our traditional family-run coffee roastery in rural Kent. You will receive a bag of coffee that is very much a premium product, where the aromas and flavours will be exceptionally delicious, and remarkably better than what you may be used to from the supermarket

About Brewing This Coffee

This coffee works fantastically well in all brewing equipment, including espresso / cappucino machines, cafetiere pots, paper / metal filter brewers, and turkish brewers.

04-Jul-09 - Definitely a complex flavour, which given my propensity towards the east indian coffees, and not particularly liking african coffees, I found a pleasant challenge! An aquired taste, in summary, but worth a try

22-Feb-10 - Yirg is my perennial favourite coffee, the best description I can give is that it has everything you’re missing in a cup of instant. Most roasters roast Yirgaffe on the light side, to accentuate the acidity. Liz at Coffee Bean Shop does it right, just that one stage darker to bring out the raunchy, sultry mocha flavours, leaving enough brightness to delight first thing in the morning. Get a grinder and buy whole bean. It’s worth it.

30-Mar-10 - Rich with a satisfying after taste. A coffee that should appeal to people who appreciate a decent cup of coffee and at a reasonable price.

21-Jun-10 - The Yirg is a really versatile bean, with a good bite and interesting flavour that gets it noticed amongst the other fine choices available here.

Dial the strength back and smooth coffee lovers will love it, the gentle kick cutting through the milk and delivering its layers of flavour with ease. Crank up the strength to make an espresso, and its intense payload will give the palette both barrels - see who reaches for the sugar first!

The Yirgacheffe's ability to cover all bases from tamed to TNT has made it a firm favourite of mine, and is a regular tag partner with the more mild mannered Monsoon Malabar in my order basket.

Highly recommended.
