Our Yirgacheffe is a delicate balancing act. The coffee will have a bit lower acidity, more sweetness but with less of the floral characteristics that make Yirgacheffe special.

We don’t roast Yirgacheffe dark as you remove all of the characteristics that make it distinct.

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.

No Pre-Ground Beans?

Unfortunately no. We would love to make your experience as convenient as possible, and while grinding your own beans is firmly in the mildly to very annoying category, we simply can’t do this for you.

The reason being, the second you grind your beans, you expose every nook and cranny to delicious coffee’s nemesis: oxygen. Too much oxygen and your coffee can go stale before you receive it in the post.

As delicious tasting coffee is our most important product we can’t take the risk of sending you a convenient but bland ground beans. Our best advice would be for you to buy a grinder.
