Ethiopian Yirgacheffe
The Cup: After grinding, you will notice citris notes, and sweet caramel fragrance. After brewing, you may notice a spicy, pepper note. The finish is zesty with hints of plum.
Ethiopian Yirgacheffes are amazing and unique coffees. Yirgacheffe is a town in the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, and the coffees from this region will surprise you with their floral and tangerine notes.
In a stellar Yirgacheffe, even the grounds have an exotic tropical toasted coconut aroma that will knock you over with its charms. Sometimes Coffee Joe's will try to compare Yirgacheffes to other coffees, such as a bright Central American or an exciting Kenyan, just south of the border from Ethiopia, but there truly is not a real comparison.
One taste of an excellent Ethiopian coffee and you will understand this passion for the bean.
