What the roaster tells us.

This Grade 1 Yirgacheffe comes from the Chelbessa washing station, where nearby smallholders bring their cherries to be sorted and weighed. It’s heirloom Ethiopian coffee grown at 1,900 to 2,400 meters and naturally processed after an October to January harvest. Hayman lists a delicate jasmine aroma with caramel, praline, vanilla and a winey edge. It’s a natural Yirgacheffe, so expect more fruit and sweetness than the washed coffees the region is best known for. A 12 oz bag costs $69.99.

About coffee from Ethiopia

Ethiopia is where arabica coffee comes from, and it still grows thousands of local heirloom varieties. Most of it is grown by smallholder farmers in regions like Yirgacheffe, Sidama and Guji. Washed Ethiopians are known for floral, citrus and tea-like flavors, and naturals for ripe berry.

What the process means

In a natural (dry) process, the whole coffee cherry dries in the sun with the fruit still on the bean. That usually gives a heavier body and riper, fruitier flavors like berry and tropical fruit.
