This batch of Yirgacheffe was produced at the Kebel Aricha processing station, where roughly 650-700 small-scale farmers from the surrounding area deliver their ripe cherries for processing and receive cash in return. Once the station selects the usable cherries, they are spread directly on drying racks. During the first few days of drying, the cherries are turned every 2-3 hours to prevent over-fermentation. After four to six weeks of natural processing, workers remove the outer fruit pulp by machine depending on the weather and temperature, then transport the coffee to Addis Ababa for storage. Naturally processed beans are usually kept in parchment until just before export, when they are hulled to protect green-bean quality. This natural Aricha lot was rated G1, the highest grade, by the ECX. From the appearance of the green beans, their consistency and freshness, to the dry aroma and flavor, everything is exceptional. If you love bright acidity and rich berry flavors, this is one you cannot miss.

About Project Origin

Sasa Sestic, the 2015 World Barista Champion, launched the green-bean sourcing project Project Origin three years ago with his business team at ONA Coffee. The project works directly with coffee farmers in impoverished countries and regions, improving their production conditions and offering purchase prices 20 percent higher than fair trade prices.

The project's founding aim also includes strengthening the connection between roasters and farmers and guiding farmers to grow high-quality coffee. To date, Sasa has built relationships with coffee growers from eight countries, including Brazil, Panama, India, Ethiopia, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If this natural Aricha won you over with its wine-like aroma and heavy berry sweetness, FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe selection offers both the natural and the washed side of the same region. FrontStreet Red Cherry is a fully ripe natural lot—only sound, fully mature cherries are used—delivering tropical fruit aroma alongside the region's signature citrus acidity, berry-juice body, honeyed sweetness, and creamy smoothness.

For a cleaner, brighter counterpoint, FrontStreet Washed Yirgacheffe is the classic everyday cup, known for white jasmine, bright citrus and lemon acidity, and a tea-like body. If you want to go deeper into small-lot Yirgacheffe, FrontStreet Gedeb comes from the Woka-area cooperative at the southeastern edge of the region, with a refined profile of citrus, lemon, and elegant white florals.
