Originally, the coffee trees of Yirgacheffe were cultivated by European monks (somewhat similar to Belgian monks growing grain to brew beer), later taken over by farmers or cooperatives. Yirgacheffe is actually composed of surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including Idido near Misty Valley, Harfusa, Hama, and Biroya, all using washed processing, although a small amount of premium beans are intentionally processed using natural methods to enhance charming fruity aromas and richness. These mountain villages are shrouded in mist, spring-like year-round, with gentle summer breezes that are cool but not hot, rainy but not humid, and winters that don't cause frost damage, nurturing a unique regional flavor of citrus and floral notes. Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' own backyards or mixed with other crops in farmland, with each household producing limited quantities - typical pastoral coffee. Award-winning Yirgacheffe beans almost all come from the aforementioned coffee villages and communities.

This batch of Yirgacheffe was produced at the Kebel Aricha processing station, where approximately 650-700 small-scale coffee farmers from nearby areas deliver ripe coffee cherries for processing in exchange for cash. After selecting usable cherries, the processing station places them directly on drying racks. During the first few days of drying, they are turned every 2-3 hours to prevent over-fermentation. After four to six weeks of natural drying, workers remove the outer fruit pulp by machine depending on weather and temperature conditions, then transport them to Addis Ababa for storage. Natural-processed beans are typically stored in parchment form until dehulling just before export to ensure green bean quality. This batch of natural Aricha was rated G1 - the highest grade by ECX, demonstrating excellent quality from green bean appearance, consistency, and freshness to dry aroma and flavor. If you love bright acidity and rich berry flavors, you absolutely cannot miss this!

Yirgacheffe is divided into two main categories based on green bean processing methods:

G1 washed Yirgacheffe has a distinctive style - the flavor of citrus and floral notes integrated into the coffee liquid is an irresistible delight for everyone;

Category B: Natural Processing
Grades include Grade 1, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5. Similarly, the highest grade G1 natural Yirgacheffe has rich fruity aromas.
