    Brewing Methods | Hover to unlock your perfect cup

    French Press
    French Press The French Press suits Ethiopia Yirgacheffe well. Full immersion brings out the natural sweetness and body while the floral notes remain present. Use a coarse grind, 92°C water, and a 1:15 ratio. Steep for 4 minutes and press slowly. A fuller, rounder expression of this origin.

    Batch Brew
    Batch Brew Batch brew delivers a consistent, approachable cup from Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. The floral and citrus notes come through cleanly at scale. Use a medium grind, 92°C water, and a 1:16 ratio. A reliable everyday brew that does this origin justice.

    Batch Brew

    Espresso
    Ethiopia Yirgacheffe The Ethereal Highland is recommended for espresso. The natural process and high-altitude growing conditions produce a shot with intense floral aromatics, a bright berry-like sweetness, and a lingering jasmine finish — complex and distinctive in the cup. Use a fine grind, 91°C, and a 1:2 ratio. Pull a 25–30 second shot. Expect something far removed from a conventional espresso — vivid, perfumed, and unforgettable.

    Espresso

    V60
    Ethiopia Yirgacheffe The Ethereal Highland is recommended for the V60. Pour-over extraction preserves every layer of this coffee's delicate complexity — jasmine florals, bright lemon citrus, and a clean, tea-like finish that rewards a slow, attentive brew. Use a medium-fine grind, 91°C water, and a 1:15 ratio. Pour in slow, controlled circles and allow a 30-second bloom. The result is a luminous, aromatic cup that showcases everything this high-altitude Ethiopian origin has to offer.

    V60

    Aeropress
    Ethiopia Yirgacheffe The Ethereal Highland is recommended for the Aeropress. A shorter steep time and gentle pressure keeps the delicate florals and bright citrus intact while adding a touch more body and natural sweetness to the cup. Use a medium-fine grind, 90°C water, and a 1:12 ratio. Steep for 90 seconds and press slowly and steadily. Bright, clean, and intensely aromatic.

    Aeropress

    Cold Press
    thiopia Yirgacheffe The Ethereal Highland works surprisingly well as a cold brew. The natural process and fruit-forward profile — berry sweetness, floral aromatics, and a soft citrus edge — translate beautifully into a chilled, refreshing cup with natural sweetness and no bitterness. Use a coarse grind and a 1:8 ratio. Steep in cold water for 16–18 hours in the fridge. Serve over ice, straight — no milk needed.

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.
