Description
ETHIOPIA YIRGACHEFFE • THE ETHEREAL HIGHLAND
Fully Washed • Ancient Heirloom • Jasmine • Citrus • Wild Florals • Tea-Like Clarity
Ethiopia is where coffee begins. The Yirgacheffe region, nestled within the Gedeo Zone, earned its reputation not through marketing but through the sheer, undeniable distinction of what its land produces—the benchmark against which all floral, tea-like coffees are measured. This micro-lot comes from the Negele Gurbitu plateau, grown at 1,700–2,000 MASL by 500–550 smallholder families, each tending modest garden plots shaded by indigenous Acacia and Teak canopies that have stood for generations.
Harvested by hand and processed at the Negele Gorbitu Cooperative Washing Station—a facility with roots stretching back to 1975—through strict wet fermentation and 18 days of sun-drying on raised African beds. Every element of interference stripped away. What remains is a direct, unmediated conversation between soil, altitude, and cup.

Caffeine & Heart Health
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe The Ethereal Highland is a fully caffeinated single-origin coffee, naturally processed in the ancient highlands of Yirgacheffe — one of the world's most extraordinary growing regions. The natural process produces a complex, aromatic cup with vivid floral notes, bright citrus, and a naturally sweet, tea-like finish. Rich in antioxidants and naturally occurring chlorogenic acids. According to theBritish Heart Foundation, moderate coffee consumption can be part of a healthy lifestyle. All the ritual. All the character.

Expert Tip
Grind fresh, every time. Ethiopia Yirgacheffe rewards a medium-fine grind — coarser for French Press and cold brew, finer for V60, espresso, and Aeropress. Brew at 90–92°C — never boiling, to protect the delicate florals. Give it a 30-second bloom to release the CO₂. The jasmine, citrus, and berry notes open up beautifully as the cup cools — don't rush it.
-
Origin
Grown in the Yirgacheffe district of southern Ethiopia, at 1,700–2,200m above sea level — the birthplace of coffee itself. Ancient heirloom varieties, rich red soils, and a distinct wet season create the ideal conditions for slow cherry development and extraordinary cup complexity. Naturally processed and sun-dried on raised beds. 100% single-origin Arabica.
-
Storage & Freshness
Keep It Fresh. Keep It Flavourful. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong odours. Our resealable pouches are designed to lock in freshness — squeeze out excess air after each use and seal tightly. Once opened, best consumed within 6 months for peak flavour. Unopened, the bag stays fresh for up to 24 months. Do not refrigerate — condensation degrades the bean's natural oils and dulls the delicate floral and citrus notes that make Yirgacheffe exceptional. For whole bean, grind only what you need — ground coffee loses its character within days of opening.
