Understanding Yirgacheffe Coffee

Yirgacheffe is a renowned name in the specialty coffee world. It represents both a town located in the southern highlands of Ethiopia and serves as a collection center for coffee beans from the surrounding region. Additionally, it has become synonymous with the distinctive coffee characteristics produced in the Yirgacheffe area—known for its intense citrus, lemon notes, and floral qualities.

Under current ECX classification, Yirgacheffe can be further divided into four sub-regions: Kochere, Gelana Abaya, Yirgacheffe, and Wenago. However, generally speaking, Yirgacheffe refers to the coffee collectively produced within the Gedeo administrative zone.

Natural Processing Method

Farmers deliver their ripe coffee cherries to processing stations in exchange for cash payment. After selecting suitable cherries, the processing stations place them directly on raised beds to dry. During the initial days of drying, the cherries are turned every 2-3 hours to prevent excessive fermentation.

After four to six weeks of natural processing, workers assess weather and temperature conditions before using machines to remove the outer fruit pulp. The beans are then transported to Addis Ababa for storage. Natural processed coffee beans are typically stored in parchment form until just before export, when they are hulled to ensure green bean quality.
