Ethiopian Coffee Regions

Ethiopia has eight major coffee-producing regions: Nekempte (Lekempti) Gimbi, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe. Among these, the most renowned specialty coffee regions are Nekempte (Lekempti), Limu, Harrar, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is located within the Sidama administrative region of Africa, Ethiopia, indicating that Yirgacheffe is a smaller area within the Sidama region.

Yirgacheffe itself is a small town with approximately 20,000 inhabitants. The three neighboring small regions—Wenago, Kochere, and Gelena Abaya—produce coffee with flavors nearly identical to Yirgacheffe, so they are also classified under the Yirgacheffe region. Both culturally and geographically, Yirgacheffe shares similarities with its neighbor Sidamo, but Yirgacheffe seems uniquely blessed with exceptional natural conditions. Top-quality Yirgacheffe coffee features floral aromas, bright citrus acidity, lemon notes, and a silky smooth mouthfeel.

Kochere Region

Kochere is located in southwestern Ethiopia, about 25 miles north of the famous Yirgacheffe town. The production model primarily involves local small farmers delivering their batches to cooperatives for unified processing. The local Chalalacktu village has approximately 100,000 people who rely on coffee cultivation for their livelihood. Coffee-related production activities constitute their main economic source. Due to income from coffee production, the local standard of living is significantly better than many Ethiopian villages, with well-established health facilities, higher education institutions, and other infrastructure. Advanced processing equipment enables Kochere region's coffee to consistently achieve high standards in washed processing, delivering clean sweetness with complex notes of molasses and citrus.

Flavor Profile

Jasmine floral notes, lemon, bergamot, honey, and black tea.
