About this Coffee
Yirgacheffe. The gateway bean for the modern 3rd wave coffee nerd. If you are interested in taking the first step into “serious coffee” then this is a good starting place. Yirgacheffe comes from the original motherland of arabica beans, Ethiopia. Here in its homeland coffee expresses a very unique flavour profile of wild flowers, red berries, fresh citrus and tea. It produces a cup that is very fresh, clean, and completely bewildering to those who have been weened on Starbucks and other heavily roasted coffees. It’s a flavour profile that takes some getting used to.
The flowery, citrus tastes of Yirgacheffe are very delicate so a Light roast yields the best flavours. Medium-Dark to Dark roasts will burn off many of these unique qualities so if you prefer your coffee nutty and chocolatey you would be better off picking another place of origin.

How to Brew It
20g Coffee : 300ml of water
For easier math, we recommend a ratio of 20g of coffee per 300ml of water. If you are doing a drip method, aim for your grinds to be about the size of coarse salt.
Tips
Resting Your Coffee
Right after roasting, coffee needs some time to chill for a minimum of three days. Our roasting cycle ensures that when you receive the beans, it’ll have rested the minimum needed. However, the flavours will continue to improve over a time. How long? Well that depends on the roasting level you ordered.
Tips
Peak Flavor Time
Your coffee will taste best depending on the roast level:
Light: 7-9 days after roast date
Roaster’s Choice: 5-7 days after roast date
Dark: 3-5 days after roast date
But every bean and person is different so please experiment and find what works for you!

No Pre-Ground Beans?
Unfortunately no. The second you grind, you expose your beans to the nemesis of delicious coffee: oxygen. Grinding introduces so much oxygen that your coffee may stale before you receive it.
To ensure you get the best tasting coffee possible, we recommend you to buy a grinder.
