In the cup: Yirg is back—it’s pretty great stuff! This espresso is a throwback to that classic Yirg we all fell in love with. The first little nostalgic note is pure aroma, with jasmine florals usually reserved for filters but not so in this case! Florals are so in the fabric of this coffee that they handle this light espresso roast degree very well. Paired with melon sweetness, this espresso is perfect for these early spring mornings.
Growing conditions and process: Grown under the shade of surrounding false banana, Besana and Berbera trees, this coffee uses traditional natural processing techniques, made famous by the region, and combines it with simple control measures.
This goes a long way to explaining this fruity cup's clean and refined flavour. Sundried on raised beds for 4-6 weeks, the whole cherries are turned every couple of hours.
Thorough moisture control ensures nothing ever gets funky or dirty tasting, and ensures this coffee leaves your palate sweetly and cleanly with its delicate florals intact.
